In the department we believe that all learners have an appropriate pathway in Mathematics and we want to work with them to achieve their full potential. We have access to, and utilise, differentiated work designed to scaffold learners to ensure appropriate support and challenge for all learners. We also utilise many different maniuplatives and aids to ensure access to topic is accessible for all.
We work collaboratively with our colleagues in Guidance and ASN to ensure that all learners are provided with the appropriate support in order to be able to access the curriculum and experience success.
Beyond this, however, we also offer further support for our learners both in BGE and Senior Phase through:
Offering both lunchtime and after school study support sessions which are available for drop in (advertised in the department and as part of the whole school Supported Study Offer)
Class Teams are set up to provide information and additional study supports at all levels so that students can access digitally
Channels on classroom teams where students are able to ask their teachers questions and receive responses (or via glow e-mail)
Learning conversations which allow student and teacher to discuss learning progression, assign targets and steps to said achieving targets
Signposting is available in classrooms to popular websites for further study at home
