All about functional skills in post 16

E&M Booth. Chris is the calculator!

Join SJ @WhatTheTrigMath as she chats to Chris Briggs all about functional skills in post 16:

E&M Booth. Chris is the calculator! 

Chris has 15+ years as a teacher across all aspects of education and settings and has been with an awarding body for 5+ years.

We dive into the data and look at what the data tells us in post 16 maths, level 2 and level 1 combined with 16-18 and adults split out to get into the detail. If you want to geek over the why we have got you covered in this episode!

Looking ahead (recorded in the summer) to September what can we do to help students in the perfect storm, as Chris calls it?

With top tips and key aspects to look at in teaching, we hope you enjoy season 2 of the E&M Booth!
