Students are actively involved in determining the content of lessons and schemes of work are set up that relate directly to students teenage lives.The programme reveals the ways in which Study Plus Maths teacher Fathima Hashim uses imaginative cross curricular methods to make sure her students are fully engaged throughout their lessons. The programme also highlights the important role of the teaching assistant in helping build up a complete picture of the individuals within the class.
