SKTM PRIMARY EARLY CAREER TEACHERS
Develop mathematical subject knowledge and understand the pedagogy that underpins the teaching of it.
Whilst recognising the requirements of the Early Career Framework, this programme provides a subject-specific focus for the ECT that enhances the statutory offer, with a focus on the teaching of maths. This is situated in the context of two core mathematical concepts: Number Sense and Additive and Multiplicative Reasoning. This programme strikes a balance between developing teachers’ maths subject knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge, alongside classroom practice to support the learning of maths. Participants attend the equivalent of four days of sessions, focusing between sessions on the use of tasks in the classroom.
