Who can take part?
Participants should be existing Level 3 maths subject leaders; this might be a head of department, second in department, or KS5 leader. They will represent their department and must be able to effect change through collaboration with their colleagues.
What is involved?
Participants will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with their peers, building an ongoing learning culture and fostering wider professional relationships. With the support of a Post-16 Assistant Maths Hub Lead and an AMSP Local Lead, participants will explore, develop and share their vision, culture and principles for teaching and learning in maths.
These communities will develop a strong collaborative and strategic focus, whilst considering the professional development needs of those teaching at Level 3.
