The Teaching for Mastery Programme is a professional development opportunity designed to support teachers like you to develop best practice in maths in your school. It is suitable for schools interested in implementing a teaching for mastery approach to maths.
Who can take part?
Primary schools in England that have not previously engaged in teaching for mastery. Schools must commit to the two-year programme, nominate two participants - typically the maths lead and one other - and ensure active headteacher involvement.
There are limited places so each Maths Hub will use set criteria to allocate spaces to this Work Group.
What is involved?
This two-year programme is designed for primary schools that are new to teaching for mastery and want to build a strong foundation for long-term change.
Each school will nominate two participants to attend six Work Group sessions, led by an experienced Mastery Specialist. Participants will work with their school leaders to begin developing and implementing a shared vision for maths, with a focus on improving pupil understanding, promoting positive attitudes to maths, and developing consistent, high-quality teaching practices across the school.
What will you learn?
- You will begin to develop a shared, whole-school vision for maths teaching
- You and your school will take practical steps towards implementing teaching for mastery approaches
- You will support staff to promote positive mathematical mindsets and pupil outcomes
- You and your school will work closely with a Mastery Specialist and other local schools to drive improvement
- You and your school will develop confidence in using high-quality resources and planning tools
What is the cost?
The Work Groups are fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme, so are free to participating schools.
