Develop as a mentor of early career maths teachers
On this course, you’ll be led by experts from the UCL Institute of Education as you learn how to support less experienced maths teachers.
This course offers a chance to engage in-course discussion with your peers to help you boost your own subject knowledge in teaching secondary school students and apply new research to your teaching practice.
As a mentor, you’ll use your personal experience to reflect upon and develop further your practice as well as share your expertise with new teachers.
The course leaders regularly run live Q&A sessions on this course. Any upcoming dates in the next month will be advertised under the “Learning on this course” section below.
What topics will you cover?
The course covers four pedagogically-powerful inter-connected themes:
- Fostering Algebraic Reasoning,
- Fostering Geometric Reasoning,
- Fostering Numerical Reasoning,
- Fostering Functional Reasoning.
These themes focus on promoting ‘big ideas’ in learning and teaching mathematics such as generalisation and abstraction, reasoning and proof, precision in mathematical language, conceptual structures within mathematics, and appreciating the potential for mathematics teaching and learning of digital technologies.
