MASTERY SPECIALIST

A Mastery Specialist is a classroom practitioner trained in the implementation of Teaching for Mastery in mathematics. 

They develop deep expertise within their own classroom before supporting colleagues in their school, with the potential to then lead training in other local schools. 

They help schools develop a Teaching for Mastery curriculum, focusing on deep, long-term, and secure understanding for all pupils.

We offer Mastery Specialist accreditations for Primary, Secondary and Further Education.

They work directly with the senior leadership in local schools, specifically focusing on the leadership and strategic development of maths teams.

The programme to develop Further Education Mastery Specialists was new in 2023; more information about it is available here:, Mastery Specialists in GCSE Resit and Functional Skills.

 

All Mastery Specialists are classroom-based practitioners who develop teaching for mastery in their own classrooms, and go on to lead Work Groups to support other schools or colleges and their teachers locally.

​

Professional Development Leads and School Development Leads are expert teachers of maths who have responsibility for maths-specific professional development beyond their own school.
