This programme is designed to support Early Careers Teachers in their second or third year of teaching in developing specialist knowledge for teaching mathematics, thus enabling them to understand, teach and support pupils in maths in the classroom.

There are opportunities for structured conversations to unpick the maths, the pedagogy modelled within sessions, misconceptions that pupils have, and how the approaches can be transferred to the participants' classrooms. Between sessions, participants contribute to their online community, complete school-based tasks, and share their reflections through discussions with peers (including their mentor).

Participants will: 

• plan and teach a carefully sequenced and coherent area of maths 

• appreciate the key ideas underpinning the area of maths being taught 

• understand key principles and approaches associated with teaching for mastery 

• understand approaches to assess pupils’ prior learning, so that learning sequences take this into account 

• make appropriate use of representations to expose the structure of the maths being taught. 

• observe experienced teachers in Maths, analysing the pedagogy. 

These networks are free to all teachers and schools involved.  This is a two year programme designed to support teachers through the early stages of their career.

We have a limit of two participants per school to ensure we can support as many schools as possible. If you would like to sign up more, please email info@solentmathshub.org.uk to let us know, and we will see if we are able to accommodate your request.
