SSIF 2 Maths: Building Positive Attitudes and Attributes in Mathematics Programme (Session 2)

This is the second session in a series of three half-day workshops, that will explore specific strategies for promoting positive attitudes and attributes towards Mathematics learning for Primary School children. Drawing on principles and findings from the recent EEF Metacognition report, the workshops will highlight both research-informed and tried-and-tested practical ideas, activities and strategies for fostering motivation, perseverance, resilience and positivity in Mathematics lessons.

The workshops will cover the following broad concepts:

• Attributes for metacognition
• Teaching and modelling metacognition
• Developing metacognition muscles
• Metacognitive talk

The workshops will be facilitated by Jon Fordham, an experienced head teacher at Allenton Primary School in Derby. Jon has successfully developed and spearheaded a host of whole-school metacognition practices at Allenton, all of which have had a significant impact on teachers and children’s aspirations, expectations, experiences and outcomes in Mathematics lessons.
