Responsive Teaching


In this course, we will take a deep dive into what it means to be more responsive in the classroom.

Assessment, tasks, pedagogy and the communication of mathematics are part of the cannon that informs crucial decision making with respect to learning. Performance is often a misleading indicator, but a necessary step in the initial steps of learning.

We will work on example tasks/prompts that exemplify how we can gain a better idea to whether true understanding has taken place. Corrective teaching is of paramount importance in the mathematics classroom and we will look at some of the research and models describing how we can make this work in practice.

Teaching for Understanding

In this section, we will explore some ideas and tasks that promote deeper understanding and why they are important for teachers to determine what pupils know.

Supporting all Pupils

In this section, we will look at how we can switch our to focus to ensure all pupils can learn well and what to do when problems arise.

Assessment

In this section, we look at some assessment questions and why we might use them. Formative assessment is a term that is used frequently in education, but what does it actually mean?

What makes a good question?

Building on the first section, we take a deeper look into what makes a good question in mathematics and how from one single question, on a particular idea, can provide us with the opportunity to gather intelligence on what our pupils know and how we can respond.
