Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics (SKTM) – Secondary non-specialists
Catered for
Non-specialist Teachers
Commitment
TBA
Location
Leeds, Bradford, CalderdaleThis project is designed to support non-specialist teachers teaching maths in a secondary school in developing specialist knowledge for teaching mathematics, thus enabling them to understand, teach and support students in maths in the classroom. It replaces the earlier TSST programme.
Who can take part?
This programme is for non-specialist teachers of maths in state-funded schools in England who fit the following definition:
“A non-specialist teacher of mathematics is a teacher in a state-funded school or college that is currently teaching some mathematics or has commitment from a headteacher/executive head to teach some mathematics within the next year, who has not undertaken Initial Teacher Training (ITT) in mathematics.”
What is involved?
There are significant numbers of people teaching maths in secondary schools without specialist initial teacher training. This programme supports non-specialist teachers in developing the specialist knowledge (the blend of subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge) for teaching maths.
It is designed to take place over the equivalent of six days.
What will you learn?
- Your students will think, reason and discuss their maths in order to deepen their understanding
- You will explore and increase your use of a range of pedagogic approaches aligned to the principles of teaching for mastery
- You will develop your subject and curriculum knowledge of secondary maths
