About the Event
WHAT IS INVOLVED?
Two teachers from each participating school join a Work Group, consisting of six or seven local primary schools. Each Work Group is led by a trained Primary Mastery Specialist. Work Groups meet regularly to plan, observe and discuss teaching for mastery.
Support is provided from a local classroom-based Mastery Specialist who leads the group. This model of professional development involves hands-on learning and peer-to-peer support. It is evidence-based and designed to support substantial long-term change.
Lots of schools are ready to start their mastery journey, and some would benefit from initial support before becoming part of the full programme. The diagram shows a school's journey towards mastery.
