Secondary Teaching for Mastery
Teaching for Mastery Development 
Secondary schools that want to introduce and embed teaching for mastery can nominate two teachers (Mastery Advocates) to join a Work Group. You will be part of a locally-based group of teachers who meet regularly to develop professional knowledge and expertise, as well as receiving bespoke, in-school support from a Mastery Specialist.
In a Teaching for Mastery Work Group you will:
- collaborate with colleagues from other local schools to share best practice
- get individual school support and guidance from a local leader of maths education (LLME)
- take away ideas to help your students become more confident mathematicians, ready to tackle GCSEs and A levels
- introduce and embed teaching for mastery in your classroom and department
If you are interested in adopting these ideas in your department and would like to get involved in our Mastery Projects, please click here for a direct link to the NCETM page for full details or review the Teaching for Mastery Maths Secondary School Pathway.
