Who can take part?

Participants will be those identified as having recently started their teaching career; for this programme that means teachers in their second or third year of teaching.

What is involved?

This one-year programme supports early career secondary teachers to develop their specialist knowledge for teaching maths, underpinned by the principles of teaching for mastery.

Participants attend the equivalent of four days of professional development across the year, working collaboratively on maths tasks and exploring pedagogy, lesson design and misconceptions. They also complete school-based tasks, contribute to an online community, and reflect with peers and mentors.

What will you learn?

• You will strengthen your understanding of effective maths pedagogy
• You will improve your lesson design and questioning
• You will build confidence in adapting your teaching to meet the needs of your students
• You will develop knowledge that aligns with teaching for mastery and the ITTECF

What is the cost?

The SKTM Secondary Early Career Teachers Programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
