Supporting the attainment of disadvantaged pupils: NFER report

Writing about web page http://www.nfer.ac.uk/publications/PUPP01/PUPP01_home.cfm

In terms of our work on developing mathematical resilience, the key aspects of this report are the finding that greater success for disadvantaged pupils was associated with a combination of metacognitive, collaborative and peer learning strategies, emphasis on achievement for all pupils, and addressing the needs of individual pupils.

This chimes well with our early findings about the efficacy of the growth zone model as a tool to support metacognitive awareness, and of developing the growth mindset, mathematical inclusion for all, collaborative (conjoint) agency and peer coaching (as opposed to peer tutoring).
