Commitment
4 days
Location
Leeds, Bradford, Calderdale TBCThe one-year programme will build on the knowledge gained during initial teacher training. It focuses on the key elements of observing learning, task design, lesson design and adapting teaching.
What’s Involved?
This programme supports secondary early career teachers to develop specialist knowledge for teaching maths,
complementing teaching for mastery approaches as exemplified in NCETM’s Essence of Mathematics Teaching for
Mastery. Participants will be those identified as having recently started their teaching career; for this programme that
means teachers in their second or third year of teaching.
Participants will attend the equivalent of four days over one academic year, where they will collaboratively work on
maths tasks, facilitated by Cohort Leads. There is opportunity for structured conversations to unpick the maths, the
pedagogy modelled within sessions, misconceptions that pupils have, and how the approaches can be transferred to
the participants’ classrooms. Between sessions, participants contribute to their online community, complete schoolbased
tasks, and share their reflections through discussions with peers (including their mentor).
