Closing the Mathematics Attainment Gap in Scotland

Being mathematically literate changes lives. However, every year in Scotland thousands of pupils are not achieving their full potential in Mathematics and leave school ill-prepared for the world of work, further study and life in general. Yet, there are many easily implemented initiatives and approaches to combat this widely felt issue.

In this session, Stuart will discuss how we can reduce the mathematics attainment gap in Scotland through intelligent curriculum design and implementation. He will explain the importance of continuity and consistency in a curriculum and share strategies that will empower maths teachers in Scotland, giving them the freedom and trust they need to work flexibly within the curriculum. If you are passionate about improving outcomes for all our young people, you won’t want to miss this thought-provoking session.
