Local sessions and online modules**New Programme**This one-year programme to support practitioners to develop their specialist knowledge to ensure that Reception pupils have the best start in life.
This programme supports Reception teachers to develop specialist knowledge for teaching maths, and use a teaching for mastery
approach as exemplified in the NCETM’s Essence of Mathematics Teaching for Mastery. It would be particularly valuable for a Reception
teacher and teaching assistant to attend the programme together. They can then work together on developing classroom practice.
This one-year SKTM programme will include number, shape, space and pattern. Participants will also explore how children’s
learning in all these areas can be supported through the development of the following skills:
• oracy (including the development of mathematical language)
• spatial reasoning
• executive function.
This programme consists of five days of facilitated learning:
• hub-led core sessions (the equivalent of four days)
• NCETM-led asynchronous modules (the equivalent of one day)
Participants will attend the hub-led days, in which they will develop their specialist knowledge. They will work collaboratively to consider
the progression and difficulties relating to specific aspects of maths and how teaching for mastery supports children in Reception.
Between these days participants will reflect on learning and notice the impact of the changes in their practice on their pupils. They
will also complete an asynchronous module between each hub-led day to build on their knowledge and understanding.
