Who can take part?
This programme is designed for teachers in the early stages of their career – specifically those in their second or third year of teaching. Information for Early Career Teachers in their first year – the new Early Career Teacher (ECT) Expertise in Teaching Maths Modules are available to first-year ECTs as a programme that they can work through at their own pace and at a time that suits their schedule. Please register for these resources via this link.
What is involved?
Built to complement the Early Career Framework, this programme offers a maths-specific focus that goes beyond the statutory requirements. It supports Early Career Teachers (ECTs) in deepening both their subject knowledge and classroom practice.
Over the course of the programme, you’ll take part in the equivalent of four days of interactive sessions. Between sessions, you’ll apply your learning directly in the classroom by exploring carefully chosen maths tasks.
What will you learn?
Deeper specialist knowledge of primary maths, aligned with Teaching for Mastery principles
Practical strategies for task and lesson design, tailored to the needs of your pupils
Greater pupil engagement, as learners begin to explain their thinking with confidence and clarity—evidence of genuine understanding
What is the cost?
The SKTM Primary Early Career Teachers Programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme, so it’s completely free to participating schools.
