Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mastery (SKTM)
Primary Early Career Teachers (ECT)
(NCP24-28)
Who will be leading the group?
Confirmation of the lead facilitator will be in Summer Term
Who can take part?
Participants will be those identified as Early Career Teachers – teachers in their first or second year of teaching.
What's Involved?
Whilst recognising the requirements of the Early Career Framework, this programme provides a subject-specific focus for the ECT that enhances the statutory offer, with a focus on the teaching of maths. This is situated in the context of two core mathematical concepts: Number sense, and Additive and multiplicative reasoning.
The programme strikes a balance between developing teachers’ maths subject knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge, alongside classroom practice to support the learning of maths. Participants will attend the equivalent of up to four days of sessions, focusing between sessions on the use of tasks in the classroom.
What will you learn?
- Your pupils will be seen to elaborate when responding to questions, showing that their answer stems from a secure understanding
- You will evaluate and adapt existing resources to enable them to be used to meet the needs of pupils
- You will develop an understanding of approaches to assess pupils’ prior learning, so that learning sequences are planned to take this into account
What is the cost?
This programme is Fully Funded by the Maths Hub Programme so is free to participating schools.
