Who can take part?
Phase 2 Communities are for those in the early part of their careers. They will have engaged with Phase 1 before engaging with this phase.
This Work Group will enable participants to develop subject knowledge for the Teaching of Mastery – with a particular focus on number sense and place value. Key experiences will include:
- Observing children’s mathematical learning
- Developing understanding of small-steps in linked learning, which can be adapted and used in school with pupils
- Maintaining a reflective journal
Teachers involved will be afforded opportunities to network, including with others teaching children in the same phase.
In addition to engaging teachers, the Work Group intends to give mentors (where applicable) the opportunity to connect with the programme. This will come through an introductory briefing at the beginning of the Work Group, so planned work can be outlined, plus the invitation to join a later workshop alongside their linked teacher(s).’
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 identify essential concepts, knowledge, skills within the topic area and provide opportunity for all pupils to learn and master these critical components
- 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?
