Key Elements of the Resources

The resources aim to develop teacher pedagogy and subject knowledge. In doing so, teachers will learn strategies to promote dialogue in the classroom in a way that builds on students’ prior knowledge and motivates them to learn. The ultimate goal is to improve students’ GCSE results. 
 
Within a three-stage structure of plan, teach and review, five lessons are collaboratively considered by a small group of teachers. A research theme is identified for each lesson. This relates to both the mathematics students will engage in and a specific aspect of dialogic learning.  The theme guides how the lesson is implemented and reviewed.
