APPLY FOR 2026/2027

Who can take part?

Designed specifically for Early Career Teachers who are in their second or third year of teaching. 

What's involved?

This Work Group will enable participants to develop subject knowledge through observing children’s mathematical learning, developing understanding of small-steps in linked learning, which can be adapted and used in school with pupils and maintaining a reflective journal

The programme covers two core mathematical concepts:  Number Sense and Additive and Multiplicative Reasoning.

Teachers involved will be afforded opportunities to network, including with others teaching children in the same career phase.

As with all our Work Groups, participants will conduct activities back in their own schools and will share findings with this collaborate learning group.

What will you learn?

• You will identify essential concepts, knowledge, skills within the topic area and provide opportunity for all pupils to learn and master these critical components
• You will develop an understanding of approaches to assess pupils’ prior learning, so that learning sequences are planned to take this into account
• Your pupils will be seen to elaborate when responding to questions, showing that their answer stems from a secure understanding
