Phase 1 Communities in this project are for those identified as Early Career Teachers – teachers in their first or second year of teaching. Phase 2 Communities are for those in the early part of their careers. They will have engaged with Phase 1 before engaging with this phase.

​

What is involved?

​

Two maths-specific subject knowledge projects are available to support primary Early Career Teachers (ECTs) – one is for ECTs who have not yet participated in this project and one is for those who participated last year. Both projects offer high-quality subject knowledge and pedagogy maths support for ECTs, recognising the requirements of the ECF.

​

Communities of ECTs will be formed in these projects, allowing for collaboration and practice-sharing. In both projects, teachers will design effective learning and teaching in maths, and review and analyse their practice.

​

What will you learn?

​

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

• 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

​

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