Secondary Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics

What is a Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics (SKTM) Programme? 

SKTM programmes focus on the development of Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics, for individual school-based teachers or practitioners. There are a range of programme available and compliment our whole-school Work Groups perfectly. 

SKTM - Secondary ECTs

This programme supports secondary early career teachers to develop specialist knowledge for teaching maths, complementing teaching for mastery approaches as exemplified in NCETM’s Essence of Mathematics Teaching for Mastery. Participants will be those identified as having recently started their teaching career; for this programme that means teachers in their second or third year of teaching.

SKTM - Secondary Non-Specialists 

This programme is provided for teachers of mathematics that did not undertake initial teacher training (ITT) in mathematics. The programme is designed to support both those teachers new to teaching maths and those that have more experience but still did not initially qualify as mathematics teachers. 

Our aim

The core purpose of the hub is to help schools and colleges lead improvement in mathematics education across the region. We seek to harness all the maths leadership and expertise within the area, to develop and spread excellent practice, for the benefit of all pupils and students.
