SECONDARY ROUND-UP MARCH 2021
March’s Secondary Round-up looks at assessment – both for exam grades and more broadly – and at making the most of departmental meetings.
HOW ARE SCHOOLS DETERMINING MATHS GRADES THIS YEAR?
If you are losing sleep over how to determine grades for Year 11 or Year 13 students this year, you will not be alone. We asked a handful of maths HoDs and school senior leaders how they are interpreting the DfE and exam board guidance in their own unique situations, and what else they are considering.
FIVE ACTIVITIES THAT MAKE MATHS DEPARTMENT MEETINGS WORTHWHILE
We’ve probably all been in a maths department meeting where the last thing discussed was teaching. Banter and biscuits, yes. But then timetabling discussions, organisation of sets, ordering textbooks, analysing data. The list goes on, and the time gets eaten up. Meetings end with participants asking themselves: When are we going to do some maths together?
