Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Maths (ECT Teachers)

This project is designed to support Early Career Teachers (teachers in their first two years of teaching) in developing specialist knowledge for teaching mathematics, thus enabling them to understand, teach and support pupils in maths in the classroom.  

The aim of this community is to work deeply on one area of maths, drawing in the associated pedagogy, and will include lesson analysis and lesson design. 

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.
