Secondary Mastery Specialist Programme

Want to become a specialist in teaching for mastery and support your own school to develop teaching for mastery approaches? Join the Secondary Mastery Specialist Programme. During the course of the programme you will receive fully-funded professional development from experts, have time to develop your own expertise, and then to support others.

Any teacher (excluding ECTs) who is teaching maths in a state-funded secondary school in England and who wishes to develop both their own classroom practice and their skills in leading professional development with others, can apply to become a Secondary Mastery Specialist.

Secondary Teaching for Mastery Work Groups

Support for departments implementing teaching for mastery across Key Stages 3 and 4

This opportunity is for schools in England that have previously participated in a Secondary Teaching for Mastery Work Group or that have a trained Mastery Specialist in their department.

Participants should be well placed to lead change within the department.

What you need to know

Intended participants are teachers in schools that have previously engaged with ‘secondary teaching for mastery’ – for example, schools with a Secondary Mastery Specialist or those that have engaged with the previous Development, Embedding, and Sustaining model. Ideally, the participant in the Work Group should be a Mastery Specialist or a former Advocate.

To support effective and sustainable implementation, there is an expectation that participants’ subject leaders attend the local subject leader community (NCP26-15).
