Who's going to be joining me live for the third webinar in this free series?
Today we'll explore the power of questions, and how we can develop effective metacognitive questions in the classroom!
A reminder that the FREE training session, this week on improving questioning, is on Thursday and not today (as normal)!
So update your diaries, and I'd you've yet to sign up, then what are you waiting for?!
Some of my favourite work this year has been alongside other experts - developing programmes, delivering training and co-presenting at conferences.
If you're interested in working together on anything, whether that be Maths, metacognition, leadership or anything else, I'm just a DM away!
A joy to end the week with everybody at the Science Hub Secondary Science Conference today!
I was privileged to be able to deliver both a session and join the end of the day panel too!
I had far too much to say in my session but it meant plenty of great conversations carried on over lunch!
My book was found!
A little shout out to Jess Wythe who managed to track down my book at Waterstones in Nottingham.
See below for my cheesy message...
Getting Questions Right!
Free PD is next Thursday 10th, not Tuesday 8th as previously advertised.
This session will be exploring why questions matter, how we can ask them more effectively, and how they can stimulate metacognitive development.
Sign-up is here: forms.gle/TpkGvxGPHCcT...
The end of the most amazing training year with this wonderful team!
It's been a joy to deliver their Maths PD since September and be their Lead Mentor since January.
A more passionate, caring and hard working bunch you won't find!
So here's to our NW London Maths Ambition class of 2025! 🎊

Here we go! Webinar 2 just about to kick off, exploring all of the different ways that we can embed metacognition into our teacher led modelling!
1 hour packed full of dozens of strategies and examples!
One whole group lecture, and 3 x 90 minutes workshops, full of ideas, applications and curriculum design.
Plus, a superb session with teaching support staff and the inclusion teams, ensuring that all students get access to high quality support 💪
A scorcher, but a cracker, yesterday, at the West Thames College, working with 150 members of staff, to develop strategies to develop learners metacognitive skills, across a huge variety of subject areas, attainment levels and age groups.
