Who can take part?
All DfE-accredited ITT providers can nominate participants who are responsible for leading maths provision. They will be joined by a representative from each Maths Hub’s leadership team. Participants are expected to attend all online and regional sessions and to share learning with colleagues.
It is expected that participants, supported by their institution, attend all national and regional meetings, feed back to relevant colleagues, and review their provision in light of the discussions. The ITT provider will commit to the same participant(s) in this community throughout the year
What is involved?
In the spirit of collaboration, the Maths Hubs Network is keen to facilitate Regional ITT Providers Communities, promoting the sharing of practice, and supporting programme development aligned with teaching for mastery pedagogies alongside other key priorities in ITT.
Participants will reflect collaboratively on how best to help trainees understand the Five Big Ideas in Teaching for Mastery, so that they can develop classroom practices that allow all pupils to learn and enjoy maths.
In addition, participants will have opportunities to share research, critically analyse and evaluate practice, and consider the challenges faced by trainee teachers as they begin their careers in maths education. Together, members identify effective ways of working with trainees to address and reduce these barriers.
What will you learn?
For ITT providers (those responsible for maths provision):
• curriculum design and supporting resources (mentor guidance, ITTECF etc.) demonstrate and support trainees, understanding of high-quality mathematics provision and the principles of teaching for mastery.
For ITT providers (those responsible for maths provision):
• trainees have opportunities to understand and demonstrate how the ITTECF standards can be exemplified in mathematics provision.
• ensure trainees have some experience of observing, analysing and designing lessons informed by mastery principles.
• mentor feedback to trainees is in line with teaching for mastery principles.
For ITT providers (those responsible for maths provision):
• have a deepening understanding of the principles of teaching for mastery and how they directly relate to classroom practice.
• have a deepening understanding of the work of their local Maths Hub and the national Maths Hubs Network.
What is the cost?
This project is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
