Secondary TfM Sustaining

Who can take part?
These Work Groups are for all departments that have previously participated in Mastery Development Work Groups and all Cohort 1-7 Mastery Specialist Departments. The two lead participants continue to be Advocates who have participated in a Development Work Group and key teachers from a Mastery Specialist’s department, but particular Work Group sessions may sometimes be joined by participants’ departmental colleagues.

What is involved?
Each Work Group will have a focus for the year. The four foci for 2024/25 are:

• developing mathematical thinking
• NEW for 2024/25 – developing fluency with multiplicative reasoning in Key Stage 3
• developing mathematical coherence for learners across maths and science
• a bespoke teaching for mastery focus.

What will you learn?

• Your students will develop a deep, secure and connected understanding of the maths they are learning
• You will continue to develop teaching for mastery approaches consistently across your department
• You and your department will collaborate to create a coherent curriculum in a culture of professional learning
• You will develop and implement a coherent and ambitious sustained development plan
