Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics (Secondary Non-specialist Teachers) Programme is funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to attend for participating schools.
What this programme offers
Participants will:
• develop an understanding of pedagogic approaches to the teaching of
maths aligned to those in the NCETM’s Essence of Mathematics Teaching for Mastery
• develop their subject and curriculum knowledge of secondary maths
• reflect on how the Teachers’ Standards apply to the teaching of maths.
Expectations
This programme has 18 core sessions (an introductory session then 17 sessions exploring each of the NCETM KS3 core concepts), and is designed to be the equivalent of six days.
The programme should be engaged with across the year (spread out over a minimum of two terms), to allow
participants time to develop their practice and evaluate the impact of the adaptations made.
