Develop mathematical subject knowledge and pedagogy.
What is involved?
Two maths-specific subject knowledge projects are available to support secondary Early Career Teachers (ECTs). Both programmes offer high-quality subject knowledge and pedagogy maths support for ECTs, recognising the requirements of the ECF.
The first Work Group focusses on Multiplicative Reasoning, the second on Sequences and Graphs. ECTs may choose one of these groups to attend this year and follow it up (if they wish) with the other one next year.
The communities formed as part of the programme provide an opportunity for participants’ conversation to remain focused on the teaching of maths, with teachers at a similar stage of their career. Participants will have the opportunity to plan and prepare within the Work Group sessions.
Who can take part?
Both Work Groups are open to any Early Career Teacher in their first three years of teaching.
Benefits
· Your students will be seen to elaborate when responding to questions, showing that their answer stems from a secure understanding.
· You will identify essential concepts, knowledge and skills within the topic area and provide opportunities for all students to learn and master these critical components.
· You will develop an understanding of approaches to assess students’ prior learning, so that learning sequences are planned to take this into account.
What is the cost?
The programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme, so is free to participating state-funded schools.
