What is involved?

Participants work with a small group of local schools, led by a Mastery Specialist, to embed teaching for mastery approaches across their department.

Work Groups provide opportunities for lesson observation and collaborative planning.

​Collaborative practices are a key vehicle to maximise the opportunities for students to have a truly coherent experience of mathematics as they move from teacher to teacher through their time in KS3 and KS4.
The Developing collaborative planning and observation across a department Work Group aims to support groups of teachers to develop the structures, strategies and understanding needed to embed effective collaboration within their own department.
