Mixed Attainment Maths Conference
Sheffield Hallam University – Saturday 17th June 2017
10am – 4pm Charles Street Building City Campus Charles Street, Sheffield S1 1WB |
|
On the 17th June 2017 we are holding the second mixed attainment maths conference. This is a conference for secondary school teachers of mathematics who are keen to develop ways of working with mixed-attainment groups.
The conference is being organised and supported by: Helen Hindle, Zeb Friedman, Tom Francome, Andrew Blair, Mike Ollerton, Hilary Povey, Leann de Belder, Sam Hoggard and Mark Horley and there will be further people to add to this list in the near future.
The first mixed-attainment mathematics teaching conference took place at the University of Birmingham in January 2017 and Sheffield Hallam University have kindly offered to house this second conference.
Workshops will be organised by people who are currently teaching, or who have taught mathematics in mixed-attainment classrooms from KS3 to KS4.
The intention is to share practices through active participation regarding strategies, ideas and resources for teaching in mixed-attainment classrooms.
The conference will be an opportunity for both those people who did attend and also those were not able to attend the first conference.
The aim of those organising the conference is: To help form a community of teachers who share a common belief in social justice and the value of not separating children into groups according to some notion of their (fixed) ‘ability.’
