Next week at #ACPConference25 we'll welcome our curriculum keynote speakers, Dr Rebecca Fisher and Matt Carnaby! This session will work to identify elements of curriculum and assessment that work, and those that need to change. Partners, book this week: ow.ly/5jRs50UjWbl


I'm incredibly excited to be heading down to London next week for the #ACPConference25 with Mathematics Mastery! I'll be exploring the difficulties that students face with problem solving, and what we can do to support them. 5 problems, 5 solutions. Super excited about this one!

Looking forward to seeing you Nathan Burns !
