Applications are now open for 2026/27

What is involved?

This one-year programme supports secondary ECTs to develop their specialist knowledge for teaching maths, underpinned by the principles of teaching for mastery.

Participants attend the equivalent of four days of professional development across the year. They also complete school-based tasks, contribute to an online community, and reflect with peers and mentors.

All ECTs participating in this programme will be enrolled onto the ECT Expertise in Teaching Maths Modules. These interactive modules are hosted on a learning management system. Whilst ECTs do not need to complete the modules to participate in the programme, the learning from them is explored in greater depth within the sessions.

What will you learn?

  • You will strengthen your understanding of effective maths pedagogy
  • You will improve your lesson design and questioning
  • You will build confidence in adapting your teaching to meet the needs of your students
  • You will develop knowledge that aligns with teaching for mastery and the ITTECF

Who can take part?

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.

What is the cost?

The Programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
