We hope you all had a restful Easter Break. Here at EMS Maths Hub we are looking towards 22/23 and the opportunities we will be offering to fulfil your professional development needs.
During the next year, Maths Hubs across England will be working with thousands of schools to continue the spread of Teaching for Mastery. If your school is ready to start developing a Teaching for Mastery approach, you can join a Primary or Secondary Teaching for Mastery Development Work Group starting in the next academic year. If your school has previously participated we also have our Primary or Secondary Teaching for Mastery Sustaining Work Group. Further information on these Work Groups can be found by following the links below.
Applications are still open for the Primary or Secondary Mastery Specialists, NCETM Accredited PD lead Programme and NCETM School Development Lead Programme. Follow the links below to be taken to the relevant NCETM webpage
All enquiries should go to admin@emsmathshub.org.uk

Primary Mastery Specialist?
|
|
|
Following the successful first 7 cohorts of the Primary Mastery Specialist Programme, the NCETM and Maths Hubs are now seeking to recruit an eighth cohort of expert primary school teachers to develop and work as Primary Mastery Specialists.
Mastery Specialists are classroom-based practitioners who develop expertise in mastery and lead Work Groups to support other schools and teachers locally.
This fully funded PD opportunity offers rigorous and interactive training to enable you to become an expert in introducing and embedding mastery. After first developing a mastery approach in your own classroom, you will then go on to support colleagues in your own and other schools.
Interested?
Visit the NCETM website for more information and an application form.
The closing date for applications is 17:00 Friday 20 May 2022.

Interested in our
Secondary Teaching for Mastery Development Work Group?
|
|
|
Teaching for mastery means students gaining a deep and lasting understanding of mathematical procedures and concepts. The Secondary Teaching for Mastery Development Work Group is a funded professional development programme which involves individual teachers and their departments working overtime to embed mastery into maths learning.
What are the benefits?
Participating in the Work Group will provide the following benefits to participant schools:
- The Work Groups provide an opportunity for your school to engage in high-quality, sustained, collaborative professional development and participate in an important national project.
- Teachers will collaborate with colleagues from local schools, and get support and guidance from a Local Leader of Maths Education.
- Participants also take away ideas to help students become more confident mathematicians, ready to tackle GCSEs and A levels, and begin to introduce and embed teaching for mastery.
Who can take part?
Any state-funded secondary school with an interest in developing mathematics teaching for mastery can apply. The school should identify two teachers (Mastery Advocates) who will be best placed to innovate in their own classroom and to lead developmental work across the department.
There is no fee or charge to participating schools to take part in this Work Group. The Maths Hub meets the cost of running the Work Group. Each department will receive £2000 to enable the Mastery Advocates to work with the Secondary Mastery Specialist and thus enable them to work within their own department.
Interested?
Further information can be found on our website and the application is attached below. Once completed please return the application form to admin@emsmathshub.org.uk.by Friday 17th June 2022.
