Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics

(Early Career Teachers)

Develop mathematical subject knowledge and pedagogy

Who can take part?

Participants will be those identified as having recently started their teaching career; for this programme that means teachers in their second or third year of teaching.

 

What is involved?

Whilst recognising the requirements of the Early Career Framework, this programme provides a subject-specific focus for the ECT that enhances the statutory offer, with a focus on the teaching of maths.

This programme strikes a balance between developing teachers’ maths subject knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge, alongside classroom practice to support the learning of maths.
Participants attend the equivalent of four days of sessions, focusing between sessions on the use of tasks in the classroom.

 

What will you learn?

  • You will enhance your maths specialist knowledge and associated pedagogies in line with teaching for mastery principles
  • You will consider task and lesson design adapting practice with your pupils’ needs in mind
  • Your pupils will be seen to elaborate when responding to questions, showing that their answer stems from secure understanding

 

What is the cost?

The SKTM Primary Early Career Teachers Programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
