Primary Mastery Specialist?

Applications Now Open!

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.

The closing date for applications is 17:00 Friday 20 May 2022.

Maths teaching news and updates from the NCETM

The NCETM's February Primary Round-up turns attention to a couple of mathematical terms that might be new to you,and points to areas of the website that might be of use to you, or to a teacher you’re supporting:

Ordinality - why understanding ordinality amounts to more than grasping ‘first, second and third’
In the Classroom - have you explored this section of our website? It's full of professional development and classroom resources to help you do your job
The fundamentals of primary maths - if you’re mentoring a new teacher, or feeling your own way in maths teaching, our materials aimed at teacher trainers might help
Spatial reasoning - experts in the maths of early childhood have produced a toolkit to support the development of this area of maths in the under 8s.
