A professional learning community for ITT providers and Maths Hub leadership
What is involved?
We have already formed a small group of ITT representatives across the sector and are aiming to build upon this number in 2023/24, creating an established group of ITT providers who are committed to developing communities of practice in order to review and evolve their provision.
Any work undertaken will be in conjunction with the leaders of maths provision in ITT institutions, to strengthen the partnership and agree actions that will support the deepening of understanding of teaching for mastery for ITT trainees at an awareness level. Activity may include working across hub boundaries and collaborating in larger regions.
Who can take part?
Participants will be from the ITT community; they should be directly involved in ITT with a responsibility for maths. They will represent the various ITT providers across the hub region so may include HEI, SCITT and School Direct, and represent different phases of ITT including EYTS, QTS (primary and secondary), and post-16.
Benefits
- You and those responsible for maths provision at your institution will review your practice and programme.
- You and those responsible for maths provision at your institution will aim to ensure trainees have some understanding of designing lessons informed by mastery principles.
- Maths Hubs leaders will have a dynamic awareness of the local needs of ECTs and schools.
- Maths Hubs leaders will ensure there is regular opportunity for collaboration and professional discussion of practices across ITE providers and that this dialogue informs hub work.
What is the cost?
The project is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme, so is free to participating schools.
