Providing expert advice on exam performance, support resources and teaching & learning approaches

As part of our commitment to providing ongoing support to all our GCSE Maths post-16 centres, we introduced a new style of free live online event in the spring term where teachers could join in, and have their queries around the teaching and learning of GCSE (9-1) Mathematics as a post-16 resit answered there and then, in real time.

These free events were specifically targeted at teachers, tutors, lecturers or curriculum leads delivering GCSE (9-1) Mathematics to post-16 learners and hosted by Nicola Clarke, one of our post-16 subject specialists.

Each session started with a presentation by on a specific topic targeted at post-16 and then opened up for questions from teachers.

Each session was recorded and we will soon be sharing some short videos where Nicola answers the most popular questions. Look out for them soon.
