[Maths-Education] Developing Pedagogy in Advanced Mathematics day conference - 25th April

[Nicola Bretscher]

Dear all,

We are pleased to invite you to the ‘Developing Pedagogy in Advanced Mathematics’ day conference on 25th April, 10.30-16.30 at UCL Institute of Education.

The purpose of this day conference is to share research and good practice in developing new teachers to teach A-level and other level 3 mathematics. Researchers and initial teacher educators are invited to share their thoughts on the place of level 3 mathematics within pressured teacher education schedules and to communicate their research in this area. The IOE team will present research findings from two related projects: case studies of teaching A-level in early career, and an investigation of beginner teachers’ skills in assessing semi-structured problems. IOE will also introduce materials from the new AMTEC* course, designed to support A-level mathematics pedagogy for early career teachers and freely available to other ITE providers from 2016-17.

Registration for this event is FREE (including lunch and teas/coffees). We can also offer a grant towards reasonable incurred travel costs (second-class rail fare). However, please note that places and travel funding are limited, and a maximum will be stated in advance.

To register, please complete the registration form at http://goo.gl/forms/XQyYluturI before 25th March 2016. If you would like to contribute a research talk or an account of developing practice, please submit an outline (up to 1000 characters) via the registration form. We would welcome contributions on: developing subject knowledge and pedagogy of particular topics; teaching for problem solving; behaviour for learning with 16-18 year olds; the relationship between level 3 (A Level or Core Maths) teaching and GCSE; assessment; mentoring beginning teachers. You can also register simply to attend.

You will receive confirmation of the session place and travel grant shortly after 25th March.

*For further details, or to find out about using our Advanced Mathematics Teaching for Early Career (AMTEC) course materials with new teachers, please contact Cathy Smith c.smith at ioe.ac.uk<mailto:c.smith at ioe.ac.uk> .

Best wishes,

Cathy Smith, Jennie Golding and Nicola Bretscher
