Secondary Maths Subject Leaders CommunityNCP24-15
Secondary Maths Subject Leaders Community
This project provides an opportunity for participants to deepen their understanding of teaching approaches, of their wider roles, and of their capacity with their colleagues to transform secondary maths learning.
They will work collaboratively with other subject leaders, discuss developments and engage with research, and use this experience to inform their work in leading and developing maths education in school.

Secondary MAT Maths Leaders CommunityNCP24-16
Secondary MAT Maths Leaders Community
The project is for those who lead maths across multiple schools within a MAT, including at least one secondary school. This includes MAT maths leads who are continuing from previous years, and new participants.
To better engage in the programme, participants are encouraged to have at least one school in a Secondary Teaching for Mastery Work Group in 2023/24, but this is not essential..

Cross Phase - Supporting Low Attainers to Achieve a L2 Qualification in MathematicsNCP24-20
Cross Phase - Supporting Low Attainers to Achieve a L2 Qualification in Mathematics
Identify and meet the needs of students continuing L2 study at post-16 Level.
This is for teachers whose students will study Level 2 maths across secondary and post-16. Teachers of Years 10 and 11, and of post-16 GCSE Maths resit and/or Functional Skills Maths, will develop ways to support students who need to study maths beyond age 16 to achieve a L2 qualification.
Work Groups will focus on developing transferable teaching techniques aligned to teaching for mastery. Participants will attend three full-day workshops and complete practice-based tasks between sessions.

New to Teaching Core MathsNCP24-22
New to Teaching Core Maths
This programme supports teachers in developing specialist knowledge for teaching Core Maths and increases their confidence in teaching the course.
Principal focus is on Core Maths subject knowledge and pedagogy and the programme will be based on these six key themes: using contextualised problem-solving; applying Fermi estimation and modelling; developing critical analysis; making sense of finance; using the pre-release materials; exploring statistics.

Developing Core Maths PedagogyNCP24-23
Developing Core Maths Pedagogy
These Work Groups give teachers opportunities, through collaboration and experimentation, to develop improved teaching approaches that support the open-ended problem-solving skills Core Maths students need to develop, and to share these with departmental colleagues. Participants will design and trial classroom activities, sharing and reflecting on their experiences with others in the Work Group.

Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics - Secondary Early Career TeachersNCP24-29a/b
Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics - Secondary Early Career Teachers
Develop mathematical subject knowledge and understand the pedagogy that underpins the teaching of it
There are two phases:
Phase 1 in this project is for those identified as Early Career Teachers – teachers in their first or second year of teaching.
Phase 2 is for those in the early part of their careers. They will have engaged with Phase 1 before engaging with this phase.
The programme will build on the knowledge gained during initial teacher training. This will be achieved by focusing on one area of maths in detail: multiplicative reasoning for participants in Phase 1, and sequences and graphical representations for participants in Phase 2.

Strengthening Partnerships with ITT Providers
A professional learning community for ITT providers and Maths Hub leadership.
This project aims to form an established group of ITT representatives across the sector who are committed to developing communities of practice in order to review and evolve their provision.
Any work undertaken will be in conjunction with the leaders of maths provision in ITT institutions, to strengthen the partnership and agree actions that will support the deepening of understanding of teaching for mastery for ITT trainees at an award level. Activity may include working across hub boundaries and collaborating in larger regions.
