Want to become a specialist in teaching for mastery and support your own and other schools to develop teaching for mastery approaches? Join the Secondary Mastery Specialist Programme. During the programme you will receive fully funded professional development from experts, have time to develop your own expertise, and then to support others.
Any teacher (excluding ECTs) who is teaching maths in a state-funded secondary school in England and who wishes to develop both their own classroom practice and their skills in leading professional development with others can apply to become a Secondary Mastery Specialist.
What is the cost?
The Secondary Mastery Specialist Programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
This video was produced in 2018/19. It describes the programme in more detail and lets you hear from teachers in some of the schools involved.
The national recruitment window has now closed for 2025/26, but if you are still interested in the Mastery Specialist programme, please add your name to our waiting list.
