The Solent Maths Hub are pleased to announce that applications have opened for our Primary and Secondary Teaching for Mastery Work Groups next year:

Primary:

There are two possible starting points for the Primary TfM Pathway:

1. Mastery Readiness

This free programme includes five whole-day workshops and five bespoke school visits across the year. Participants will unpick minders, systems and leadership to ensure their school is in an excellent position to adopt a Teaching for Mastery approach. This year leads into the Mastery Development year and ensures consistent support on your TfM journey.

2. Mastery Development

This free programme includes three bespoke school visits and six half-day Teacher Research Groups (TRGs). The TRGs focus around watching live lessons to support and empower participants to engage in action research in their own schools. Every TRG is led by a Primary Mastery Specialist who will also conduct the school visits, providing support and continuity. This work group also comes with £1000 of funding per school towards releasing teachers for their sessions.
