  • Kate Griffiths (Secondary Maths Consultant)

Course Aims:
- To provide ECTs and new non specialist maths teachers with a strong grounding in how secondary maths learning develops across key stages
- To build confidence in planning coherent maths lessons that connect ideas and avoid misconceptions
- To give teachers practical strategies for assessing prior knowledge, checking understanding and using feedback purposefully
- To strengthen early subject knowledge and pedagogical understanding to ensure high quality maths teaching from day one

This course is suitable for secondary maths ECTs and non-specialist teachers who have recently started to teach some mathematics. More experienced non-specialists wishing to further develop their subject knowledge might find 'Subject Knowledge Enhancement for Non-Specialist Teachers of Secondary Mathematics' (NUM235) more suitable.
