Do you know your Mobius bands from your hexaflexagons?! The brilliantly creative mind of @stecks is on full display in this afternoon's FTS National Conference session on the mathematics of paper!

[Future Teaching Scholars @FTSProgramme]

We've also invited members of our alumni network to host sessions for their FTS peers.

Habib's popular session on progression into leadership emphasises just how ambitious and dedicated to the teaching profession our Scholars are. Thank you Habib for returning!

"Test the boundaries of a concept, see where it falls apart."

@EmathsUK is currently delivering a compelling session around meaning in mathematics. Our Scholars are hooked, trying to figure out what "smub" means!

"Checking for prior knowledge is an absolute no-brainer."

@MrARobbins is currently leading a session on responsive teaching at the FTS National Conference, questioning just how often teachers consider students' prior knowledge as part of their planning.

"Every school is unique - and I would encourage you to find a school that allows you to grow."

Our first keynote session of the National Conference is underway, led by the brilliantly insightful @RossMcGill.

We kicked off our final National Conference in true FTS style last night: with a maths quiz hosted by @SparksMaths and @robeastaway - two brilliant minds from @MathsInspiratn.

Today, our Scholars are attending a series of insightful and inspiring sessions. Stay tuned for more!

It's brilliant to have you, Adam - really looking forward to your session this morning. And no teacher conference is complete without MWBs!

[Adam Robbins @MrARobbins]

Great to be invited to @EDTvoice Future Teaching Scholars Conference this weekend. I'm running workshops on responsive teaching and yes I have brought my MWBs

This month, we're looking ahead to the highlight of the FTS events calendar: the annual National Conference.

We'll soon be revealing this year's conference speakers - but for now, hear from just some of our Scholars who attended last year's event, which was "the best one yet".
