This 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's 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) required for teaching maths.

It is designed to take place over the equivalent of six days.

What is the cost?

This programme is fully funded by the Maths Hub Programme so is free to participating schools.

What will you learn?

• Your students will develop a deep, secure and connected understanding of the maths they are learning
• You will increase your confidence in planning for progression in maths
• You will improve your subject and curriculum knowledge of secondary maths 

What do our participants think?

"This programme has deepened my understanding of the representations and given me new strategies that I can use with my students in the classroom" – Emily

"It is helping me reflect as a teacher. I don’t have a maths degree and although I can do the maths myself, it is all different from how I was taught before. My department has done a lot of work on teaching for mastery and this is helping me make sense of the work the faculty are doing" – Sam
