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 programme strikes a balance between developing teachers’ maths subject knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge, alongside classroom practice to support the learning of maths.
Participants attend the equivalent of four days of sessions, focusing between sessions on the use of tasks in the classroom.

What will you learn?

  • You will enhance your maths specialist knowledge and associated pedagogies in line with teaching for mastery principles
  • You will consider task and lesson design adapting practice with your pupils’ needs in mind
  • Your pupils will be seen to elaborate when responding to questions, showing that their answer stems from secure understanding

What is the cost?

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

Enhance Your ECTs’ Mathematical Teaching Skills: Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics ECT Primary Work Group Support your Early Career Teachers (ECTs) in building the key skills needed to teach mathematics effectively through our SKTM ECT Primary Work Group.

Tailored for first-year ECTs, this programme is delivered across four full days of face-to-face sessions throughout the academic year. It focuses on deepening both mathematical subject knowledge and pedagogical expertise, equipping teachers to excel in the classroom.

Led by Victoria Wilson, an accredited PD Lead with the NCETM, this programme will equip your teachers with the tools to:

- Deepen their understanding of Number Sense and how it underpins pupils' mathematical development.

- Explore adaptive teaching strategies to meet the diverse needs of their learners.

- Identify and address areas of specific need within their own cohorts, fostering a more responsive approach to teaching.

This programme not only aligns with the Early Career Framework but provides your ECTs with a subject-specific focus that goes beyond the statutory offer, empowering them to become more confident and reflective maths teachers. By investing in this CPD, your school will ensure that ECTs develop a solid foundation in mathematical teaching, benefiting both their professional growth and student outcomes.
