Who can take part?
All DfE-accredited ITT providers will be invited to choose participant(s) with responsibility for leading maths provision, alongside a member of each Maths Hubs Leadership and Management team to join a regional community. These regional communities will be led by a pair of Regional Community Leads (representing both Higher Education and school-based provision).
What is involved?
This project aims to form an established group of ITT representatives across the sector who are committed to developing communities of practice to review and evolve their provision.
Participants in these regional communities will be expected to attend three national two-hour (online) workshops, coordinated by the NCETM team. In addition, participants will collaborate as a regional community for two half-days led by their Regional Community Leads. The focus of these communities is to work with Maths Hubs to know how best to support trainee teachers to align their classroom practice with the principles of teaching for mastery.
It is expected that participants, supported by their institution, attend all national and regional meetings, feedback to relevant colleagues, and review their provision in light of the discussions. The ITT provider will commit to the same participant(s) in this community throughout the year.
What will you learn?
For ITT providers (those responsible for maths provision):
• curriculum design and supporting resources, e.g. mentor guidance, ITTECF etc., includes reference to the principles of teaching for mastery.
• curriculum design and supporting resources (mentor guidance, ITTECF etc.) demonstrate and support trainees’ understanding of the high-quality mathematics provision and the principles of teaching for mastery.
For ITT providers (those responsible for maths provision):
• trainees have opportunities to understand and demonstrate how the ITTECF standards can be exemplified in mathematics provision.
• ensure trainees have some experience of observing, analysing and designing lessons informed by mastery principles.
• mentor feedback to trainees is in line with teaching for mastery principles.
For ITT providers (those responsible for maths provision):
• have a deepening understanding of the principles of teaching for mastery and how they directly relate to classroom practice.
• a deepening understanding of the work of their local Maths Hub and the national Maths Hubs Network.
What is the cost?
This project is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
