Primary Teaching for Mastery - Embedding 2023-24 - Registration Closed
Support for schools in their second year of teaching for mastery.
This is for schools who have previously participated in a Development Work Group. All must show a strong commitment for embedding teaching for mastery approaches, and at least the lead teacher from the Development Work Group must have already started using mastery approaches. The school leadership team including the headteacher must also be involved, to ensure there is a whole school commitment.
Primary Teaching for Mastery - Sustaining 2023-24
Support for schools to make teaching for mastery ‘business as usual’.
This is for all primary schools who have previously been involved in teaching for mastery via a Development or Embedding Work Group, or who are Mastery Specialist schools. It brings together schools across the Maths Hubs Network that are working on continued development to sustain their mastery approach to maths.
Teaching Assistants Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics 2023 - 24 - Registration Closed
Develop mathematical subject knowledge and understand the pedagogy that underpins the teaching of it.
This project is designed to improve the subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge for all practitioners teaching and supporting the learning of primary maths.
There are two pathways: Number and Spatial Reasoning. Each pathway consists of several core units and looks at specific topics as well as policy and practice. Exploration of modules in these pathways will take place during the course of the academic year, over the equivalent of four days. Participants in the programme may wish to follow one pathway this year, and the other pathway next year.
These Work Groups will start in the second 1/2 of the autumn term of 2023-23. Dates and locations of each Work Group will be shared at the start of the autumn term.
