Compliance versus Buy-In: How to get people on board

Helen Taylor
Director of Maths, Shaw Education Trust

We have all faced the battle of asking our colleagues to 'do something' or agreeing a policy at a department meeting only to find that it is not happening in practice. This session explores the tools that Heads of Department have at their disposal to get people on board with change that you are trying to implement.

How to lead and deliver professional development for your team

Ben Rapley
Head of Department, Newfield School

In this session, we'll look at how learning can be phased, so that our lessons are more impactful and pupils develop a deeper understanding of the interconnected nature of mathematics by looking at the Teach, Do, Practise, Behave structure of a learning episode.
