Teaching for Mastery in the context of special school and alternative provision
This Research and Intervention Work Group focuses on two key questions:
-
How does Teaching for Mastery (TfM) translate into non-mainstream provision?
-
How do we adapt a small steps curriculum to meet the needs of all students focusing on Arithmetic Fluency?
Participants will have the opportunity to work with colleagues from within their own school and others to develop their understanding of the five big ideas in teaching for mastery and apply it to their own practice.
What is involved?
Participants will be required to attend all sessions.
-
The Work Group design will follow a workshop – school-based work cycle, consisting of several workshops followed in each case by specific school-based work.
-
The programme will be delivered by a blended approach through a series of pre-recorded sessions, live workshops and follow-up tasks in order to implement tasks and strategies within participants’ settings.
Participants will:
-
Deepen knowledge and understanding of the five big ideas of Maths Mastery, with a specific focus on cohesion.
-
Understand how to adapt Maths Mastery within the context of their specific setting.
-
Have the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues from other schools across five boroughs in order to share best practice and gain insight into what might work for their specific students.
-
Help to inform the Maths Hub, NCETM and DfE as to how Maths Mastery can be implemented in special schools provision.
Who can take part?
Participants should be teachers in special schools in primary, secondary, middle school and all-through schools who teach maths to pupils. Ideally there will be two teachers from the school so they can discuss and implement changes to their practice.
When and where?
The Work Group will use a blend of face to face, live sessions and recorded webinars.
Location for face to face sessions tbc.
