Who can take part?
Participants will be those identified as Early Career Teachers – teachers in their first or second year of teaching.
What is involved?
Whilst recognising the requirements of the Early Career Framework, this programme provides a subject-specific focus for the ECT that enhances the statutory offer, with a focus on the teaching of maths. This is situated in the context of two core mathematical concepts: Number sense, and Additive and multiplicative reasoning.
The programme strikes a balance between developing teachers’ maths subject knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge, alongside classroom practice to support the learning of maths.
Participants will attend four days spread across the academic year, focusing between sessions on the use of tasks in the classroom.
What will you learn?
Your pupils will be seen to elaborate when responding to questions, showing that their answer stems from a secure understanding
You will evaluate and adapt existing resources to enable them to be used to meet the needs of pupils
You will develop an understanding of approaches to assess pupils’ prior learning, so that learning sequences are planned to take this into account
What is the cost?
The SKTM Primary Early Career Teachers Programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to state-funded participating schools.
