SKTM PRIMARY EARLY CAREER TEACHERS

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.

The programme strikes a balance between developing teachers’ maths subject knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge, alongside classroom practice to support the learning of maths. Participants will attend the equivalent of up to four days of sessions, focusing between sessions on the use of tasks in the classroom.

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

• You will evaluate and adapt existing resources to enable them to be used to meet the needs of pupils

• 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 project is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to state-funded participating schools.

Communities in this project are for those identified as Early Career Teachers – teachers in their first or second year of teaching.
