Working solely within one discipline or another has not provided sufficient future-facing approaches and solutions to the ”wicked problems” relevant to our times, like climate change and social inequity. Those we teach need to know how to move beyond existing ways of thinking by bringing together complex, cross-system, cross-sectoral ways of working. Crucially, these are also the skills that employers are looking for in employees of the future.
As educators, that means we need to think in trans-disciplinary, cross-curricular ways.
This workshop will explore how English and Maths can come together to ensure that teaching is rich and engaging, and also prepares students to move successfully through the 21st century world.
This workshop is brought to you by the English Association and the Mathematical Association, in collaboration with Maths Inspiration.
This event is suitable for any teacher interested in discovering the value of making connections between English and Maths, and subject leads looking for ways to develop their provision through making such connections. There will be a focus on the skills needed at GCSE, but all with an interest in this topic are welcome.
