Secondary Mastery Specialists

What are Teaching for Mastery Specialists?

Mastery Specialists are classroom practitioners who develop expertise in the mastery approach to teaching maths. Through rigorous and interactive training, they become experts in introducing and embedding mastery. After first developing a mastery approach in their own classrooms, they go on to support colleagues in their own and other schools.​

• Year One: you participate in several professional development events and focus on developing your own classroom teaching.
• Year Two: your focus is on developing teaching for mastery approaches within your own department and honing your skills in leading professional development.
• Year Three: and beyond: you support key teachers in other local schools to develop a teaching for mastery approach within their own departments.

TESTIMONIAL

"I have been teaching mathematics for 17 years. Taking part in the Teaching for Mastery programme has rejuvenated my practice and taught me so much, even after only 3 meetings. My year 7 and 8 students are thinking far more deeply about mathematical concepts and I firmly believe this will lead to them become far more competent mathematicians, as well as resulting in them appreciating the beauty of mathematics, beyond being a collection of facts and processes. I would wholeheartedly encourage any teacher considering the programme to get on board. They will not regret it."
