CPD for non-specialists that strengthens maths departments

How do Maths Hubs support teachers whose main subject isn’t maths?

 

---

 

There are significant numbers of people teaching maths in secondary schools without specialist initial teacher training. This programme supports non-specialist teachers in developing the specialist knowledge (the blend of subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge) for teaching maths.

It is designed to take place over the equivalent of six days.

 

Programme benefits

• Your students will think, reason and discuss their maths in order to deepen their understanding

• You will explore and increase your use of a range of pedagogic approaches aligned to the principles of teaching for mastery

• You will develop your subject and curriculum knowledge of secondary maths

• Over half of the schools in England have participated in an EEF trial

• Participating schools, working with their local Maths Hub, will be contributing to the evidence base for interventions aiming to address the shortage of mathematics teachers within England

This programme is for non-specialist teachers of maths in state-funded schools in England who fit the following definition:

"A non-specialist teacher of mathematics is a teacher in a state-funded school or college that is currently teaching some mathematics or has commitment from a headteacher/executive head to teach some mathematics within the next year, who has not undertaken Initial Teacher Training (ITT) in mathematics."

*For non-specialist teachers who will be teaching Year 8 in 2025/26.
