These programmes are designed for primary teaching assistants who are supporting maths, and who would like to develop their specialist knowledge for teaching maths. This may be particularly relevant for new TAs or TAs that have not received maths-specific training It will run over 4 days.

The project offers schools the opportunity for teachers to develop the knowledge and skills to secure firm foundations for their pupils in additive relationships.

Schools with additional challenges need bespoke support to ensure their systems and cultures are conducive to a teaching for mastery approach. This project is for schools who are not yet ready to join the Teaching for Mastery Development Programme.

This Work Group will support schools in developing a teaching for mastery approach. The Work Group will typically consist of a group of six schools who work collaboratively with a Mastery Specialist to lead the development of teaching for mastery in their schools.
