Responsive Teaching
Friday 1 July 2022 9:30 for 9:45 – 2:00
1. Welcome to CfEMLive 2022
If you’re tweeting today, we’re using the hashtag #CfEMlive22 and #CfEM. We’d also love you to use #FEmaths – today is a great opportunity to join up maths practitioners all over the country (and do share your Twitter handle in chat once you’re in Zoom).
We are so excited to welcome you to the Education and Training Foundation’s hugely popular virtual Centres for Excellence in Maths (CfEM) conference. Our theme is Responsive Teaching: helping teachers value and build on students’ prior learning and address individual needs. We are so excited to hear from CfEM partners about their action research.
Here’s Steve Pardoe, Head of CfEM at the ETF, and Cath Gladding, ETF’s CfEM National Research Advisor, to welcome you to #CfEMlive22. Next up is Lou Mycroft, co-host for room 1, explaining how you can engage throughout the day with the presenters, each other and the wider maths community.

2. Your #CfEM – and registration
As you’ll hear from the welcome videos, today is all about you and your maths pedagogy. Whether you are sharing your action research, or learning from others’ research, we will be encouraging you to listen, ask questions of others and appreciate the effort that has gone into each and every one of these research presentations. Please note that we will be filming all presentations and they will be stored in the public domain. Thank you.
But firstly two tasks for you. Please can you:
- register to tell us you’re here using this form? We’ll be using this information to update the ETF’s booking system
- review the timetable below and work out which sessions you want to access today
We’ve designed the day so you can move between the two parallel zoom rooms at specific points and we’ll record so you can catch up on all sessions.
Great. You’ve probably got time to go make a cuppa 😃
Now for the agenda and timetable. We’ve got three fabulous sessions for you today, each focused around some aspect of Responsive Teaching. Each presentation will last around 20 minutes, followed by the opportunity to process your thinking making use of the Zoom break-out rooms in the morning, and this afternoon a Menti. This ensures that you have some processing time, to discuss what you’ve been hearing. There will be no ‘death by feedback’, we promise!
We’ll keep you muted during the sessions, to minimise background noise, so do ask any questions via chat. Remember all the video-presentations will be edited and made available on this landing page and the ETF’s CfEM YouTube channel after the event.
The processing questions we’ll be using are:
What have you seen or heard that you’d like to implement in your own organisation?
Why and how are you going to do this?
We’ll keep coming back to these two questions in the morning breakout triads and afternoon’s Menti.
At a few minutes before 9:45am, please go to the Main Zoom Room for our CfEM Live 22 welcome and then its straight into session one. All zoom links and password details (if needed) are in the relevant session of the timetable.
