Primary Teachers Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics Programme
The Primary Teacher Subject Knowledge Enhancement Work Group is designed for primary teachers who would like to develop their specialist knowledge for teaching maths. This may be particularly relevant for teachers that have moved phases or have not received maths-specific training.
There are two pathways:
Number and Spatial Reasoning. Each pathway consists of several core units and
looks at specific topics as well as policy and practice. Exploration of modules in these pathways will
take place during the course of the academic year, over the equivalent of four days. Participants in the
programme may wish to follow one pathway this year, and the other pathway next year.
