BackSpecialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics : Secondary Non-Specialist Teachers Programme
There are significant numbers of people teaching maths in secondary schools without specialist initial teacher training. This programme supports non-specialist teachers in developing their specialist knowledge (the blend of subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge) required for teaching maths.
What Will You Learn?

- Explore and increase their use of a range of pedagogic approaches aligned to those in the NCETM’s Essence of Mathematics Teaching for Mastery.
- Reflect on how the Teachers’ Standards apply to the teaching of maths.
- Develop their subject and curriculum knowledge of secondary maths.
- Develop an understanding of pedagogic approaches to the teaching of maths aligned to those in the NCETM’s, 'Essence of Mathematics Teaching for Mastery'.
Pupils will:
- Think, reason and discuss their maths to deepen their understanding.
- Demonstrate a positive attitude to maths.
What is involved?
- This programme has 18 core components exploring each of the NCETM KS3 core concepts, and is designed to be the equivalent of six days in total across the year.
- Participants will attend four face-to-face afternoon sessions, six online twilights and two further days throughout the course of the academic year.
