  and systems which support a teaching for mastery approach, as set out in the 2021 DfE Key
  Stage 3 non-statutory guidance
• the teachers in the department (including the Specialist) developing a deep understanding of the
  principles and pedagogies underpinning teaching for mastery, and acquiring enhanced maths
  subject knowledge with a particular emphasis on progression within key areas of maths
• the growth of teachers’ collaborative work, through which planning, teaching and assessment
  practices are developed
• the Specialist developing their own understanding and practice in supporting collaborative
  professional development within and beyond school
• the department making effective use of materials and resources, including textbooks, to support
  the design of well-crafted lessons
