Leading Maths - The essential guide for new and aspiring maths leaders

Peter Mattock

Beschreibung

Leading maths at any school is a unique challenge and comes with pressures not experienced in many other subject areas. The relatively abstract nature of the subject content, combined with the contrasting societal and parental attitudes to mathematics, can complicate communication and stifle progress. Most pupils and parents will recognise the importance of maths but many feel it's perfectly acceptable to be "no good" at it. Leading maths in schools is about managing these contradictions and getting the very best out of every teacher and pupil.
Offering a fresh perspective and practical strategies for maths teachers and leaders at any level, Leading Mathsexplores how to make the most of a maths leadership role and manage the daily pressures and demands that come with it. Backed up by specific examples from fifteen years of experience leading maths, Peter Mattock goes on to examine the more long-term, strategic view of maths leadership, including how leaders can work with their teams to develop high quality mathematics teaching and learning for all pupils.
The book covers day-to-day issues that arise when leading maths, in particular results and accountability, as well as difficult situations more generally. It offers useful takeaways at the end of each chapter, with a summary of key points and advice from the chapter. Leading Maths explores how to manage an inspection, developing improvement plans and the appraisal process, before touching on taking maths leadership beyond one specific school and into system leadership.
In addition to Peter's insight, Leading Maths also contains contributions from other experienced maths practitioners, including Becky Lawrence, Jemma Sherwood, Rhiannon Rainbow and Dave Tushingham. Becky examines some of the specific approaches to leading primary maths, whilst Jemma does the same from her perspective as a maths lead across a large multi-academy trust. Rhiannon and Dave then go on to discuss how to manage significant change from their experience of adapting curriculum and CPD during the COVID pandemic - including the beginnings of their (now famous) book club.
An essential guide for current, new, or aspiring maths leaders.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man" by Steve Harvey offers a humorous and insightful look into the minds of men and their approach to relationships. The book delves into the fundamental differences in how men and women perceive and navigate the dating world. Harvey argues that men, driven by a basic need to provide, protect, and profess their love, operate with a distinct set of rules and expectations. He encourages women to understand these differences, establish clear standards and boundaries, and utilize strategic approaches to dating, such as the "Ninety-Day Rule," to ensure they are treated with respect and attract men who are worthy of their commitment. Through anecdotes, advice, and a dose of tough love, Harvey empowers women to take control of their romantic lives and find lasting happiness.

The Human Brain - Anatomy...

Ava Westwood

The human brain is the command center of the body, responsible for processing information, regulating bodily functions, and enabling cognitive abilities such as thinking, memory, and emotions. As the most complex organ in the human body, the brain contains billions of neurons that communicate through intricate networks, allowing for seamless coordination of voluntary and involuntary actions. Understanding the structure and function of the brain is essential for gaining insights into neurological health, mental well-being, and the mechanisms underlying various cognitive and motor processes.
The brain is divided into three primary regions: the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem. The cerebrum, the largest part of the brain, is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as reasoning, problem-solving, language, and sensory perception. It is further divided into four lobes—frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital—each with distinct roles in processing information. The cerebellum, located at the back of the brain, is crucial for coordinating movement, maintaining balance, and fine motor control. The brainstem, connecting the brain to the spinal cord, regulates vital autonomic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and digestion, ensuring the body’s survival.
Neurons, the fundamental units of the brain, communicate through electrical and chemical signals. This intricate communication network enables the processing of sensory inputs, the initiation of motor responses, and the storage of memories. Supporting cells known as glial cells play a crucial role in maintaining brain health by providing nutrients, removing waste, and protecting neurons from damage. Neurotransmitters, chemical messengers in the brain, facilitate signal transmission between neurons and influence mood, behavior, and cognitive functions.
