Who can take part?

Designed specifically for Early Career Teachers who are in their second or third year of teaching. 

What's involved?

This one year programme will enable participants to develop subject knowledge through:

  • 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
 
The programme covers two core mathematical concepts:  Number Sense and Additive and Multiplicative Reasoning.
 

Teachers involved will be afforded opportunities to network, including with others teaching children in the same career phase.

As with all our Work Groups, participants will conduct activities back in their own schools and will share findings with this collaborate learning group.

All ECT’s participating in this programme will also gain access to the ECT Expertise in Teaching Maths Modules which are hosted on a learning management system.  Whilst ECTs do not need to complete the modules to particpate in the programme, the learning from them is explored in greater depth within the sessions.

What will you learn?

  • 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
  • Your pupils will be seen to elaborate when responding to questions, showing that their answer stems from a secure understanding

 

What is the cost?

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

Where & when?

This programme runs over the equivalent of 4 days across the year, face-to face.
