SECONDARY

This is a new programme to support teaching assistants develop the specialist knowledge for working within the maths classroom. This programme will run online over 4 sessions.

This programme supports non-specialist teachers in developing the specialist knowledge (the blend of subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge) for teaching maths. This programme will run over 6 sessions, which can be blended with some sessions run face-to-face and some online.

The purpose of this project is to offer focused support to secondary heads of department/subject leaders, to enable them to better understand and implement teaching for mastery approaches across their department, and to develop in their role as leaders of both student learning and teacher PD.

The intended participants are those who teach and/or have responsibility for the curriculum in Years 5-8. Participants may be subject leaders or teachers with responsibility for transition in a school. Several groups will run across Sussex. Equivalent of approx. 3 days with tasks between sessions.

This project is designed for those who lead maths across multiple schools within a MAT, including at least one secondary school. This includes MAT maths leads who are continuing from previous years, and new participants.

This programme aims to offer high quality maths support and challenge for Early Career Teachers. s – teachers in their first or second year of teaching. If participants were unable to engage in their first two years, Maths Hubs can consider those in their third year of teaching.

Secondary schools and maths departments that want to introduce and develop teaching for mastery can join the Work Group and should nominate two teachers as Mastery Advocates.
