What is involved?

This one year programme supports early career secondary teachers to develop their specialist knowledge in maths, underpinned by principles of teaching for mastery.

Participants attend the equivalent of four days of professional development across the year, working collaboratively on maths tasks, contribute to an online community, and reflect with peers and mentors.

What are the benefits of being part of this programme?

• You will strengthen your understanding of effective maths pedagogy
• You will improve your lesson design and questioning
• You will build in confidence in adopting your teaching to meet the needs of your students
• You will develop knowledge that aligns with teaching for mastery and the ITTECF (Initial teacher training and early career framework).
