Secondary Mastery Specialist Programme 

Secondary Mastery Specialist Programme 

Professional development to enable you to introduce and embed teaching for mastery across your department 

What is involved? 

This two-year programme supports secondary maths teachers to become experts in teaching for mastery and lead change within their schools. Teachers will strengthen their classroom practice and learn how to support colleagues. They will explore the NCETM’s Essence of Mathematics Teaching for Mastery, working closely with their subject leader to embed these approaches across the department. Participants will also complete the NCETM Professional Development Lead Programme, gaining the skills to lead effective CPD.

Who can take part? 

Secondary maths teachers in state-funded schools in England with QTS and at least two years’ teaching experience. Applicants should be committed to develop their own teaching and support improvement across their department.

‘Teaching for Mastery gives me new ideas to think about and reinforces what we should be doing to keep our teaching dynamic and up-to-date.’ 

‘Through Teaching for Mastery, we have developed oracy within the classroom and pupils have developed more confidence to attempt problems.’
