This project brings together ITT providers and Maths Hub leaders to form a regional professional learning community focused on enhancing maths provision and aligning it with the principles of teaching for mastery. Participants will work together to review and develop organisational policies, curriculum design and mentor guidance, while exploring how to embed mastery-informed lesson design and feedback into ITT maths provision.
Benefits:
You will review and strengthen maths provision across ITT programmes
You will have a deepening understanding of the teaching for mastery principles and how they directly relate to classroom practice
You will have opportunities to work collaboratively across the region with ITT providers and Maths Hub leaders
Participant information: All DfE-accredited ITT providers will be invited to choose participant(s) with responsibility for leading maths provision, alongside a member of each Maths Hubs Leadership and Management team to join a regional community. These regional communities will be led by a pair of Regional Community Leads (representing both Higher Education and school-based provision). Participants in these regional communities will be expected to attend three national two-hour (online) workshops, coordinated by the NCETM team. In addition, participants will collaborate as a regional community for two half-days led by their Regional Community Leads. The focus of these communities is to work with Maths Hubs to know how best to support trainee teachers to align their classroom practice with the principles of teaching for mastery.It is expected that participants, supported by their institution, attend all national and regional meetings, feedback to relevant colleagues, and review their provision in light of the discussions. The ITT provider will commit to the same participant(s) in this community throughout the year.
The community is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme, so is free to participating institutions
