Develop mathematical subject knowledge and understand the pedagogy that underpins the teaching of it.
What is involved?
This Specialist Knowledge of Teaching Mathematics (SKTM) programme offers high-quality subject knowledge and pedagogy maths support for ECTs, recognising the requirements of the ECF.
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 will attend four days of sessions, focusing between sessions on the use of tasks in the classroom. Participants will have the opportunity to plan and prepare within the Work Group sessions.
Who can take part?
This one year programme is for Early Career Teachers up to their third year of teaching.
Benefits
