Maths Hubs support the long-term development of effective mathematics teaching in schools. A key part of this remit is to support schools to develop secondary mathematics teaching for mastery.

One strategy to achieve this aim is the bespoke work that Secondary Mastery Specialists carry out directly with mathematics departments in a Development Work Group.

In the first year, a trained Secondary Mastery Specialist will work with two teachers from each mathematics department to develop an understanding of effective pedagogy. In subsequent years this work progresses further with the focus shifting to supporting the department to embed these approaches.

Maths Hubs are therefore now looking to recruit schools and their maths departments to participate in these Work Groups. More information about secondary teaching for mastery Work Groups is available on the NCETM website:

WHAT ARE THE COSTS FOR PARTICIPATION?

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 participating school 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.
