What is involved?
This maths-specific subject knowledge project is designed to support secondary Early Career Teachers (ECTs). It is likely you are already working with other ECTs in cross-curriculum groups and that you have the support of experienced maths teachers in school.
This project therefore focuses on the needs of mathematics teachers and offers high-quality subject knowledge and pedagogy maths support for secondary mathematics ECTs, recognising the requirements of the ECF. You will work with experienced course leaders and other maths ECTs to develop ideas that are relevant to you.
The programme will build on the knowledge gained during initial teacher training. This will be achieved by focusing on one area of maths in detail: multiplicative reasoning.
Who can take part?
Those who are Early Career Teachers (teachers in their first or second year of teaching) who have not previously participated in this work group.
Benefits
- Your students will reason with increasing confidence in response to effective questioning in the classroom
- You will consider task and lesson design, with your students’ needs in mind
- You will notice aspects of teaching for mastery within a given task or lesson, and be able to articulate their purpose
Cost:
The programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme, so is free to participating schools.
