[Maths-Education] NCETM Teaching for Mastery Primary Mathematics Specialist Programme

[Debbie Morgan]

Dear Colleagues 
As you may be aware the NCETM is running a programme to develop teachers as specialists in teaching for mastery of mathematics within the primary school. Each of the Maths Hubs has selected 4 teachers to take part in the programme. The competition for these places was strong, with approximately 600 applicants for 140 places. These are high quality experienced teachers, some who already have masters credits through programmes such as MaST. We would like to offer the teachers engaged in programme the opportunity to work towards and gain Masters credits should they wish to. We are therefore providing the opportunity for HEI institutions who have existing "open/skeleton" masters modules to pass on details to the teachers, through the NCETM. Please note the NCETM is not in a position to work with a university to validate the programme itself, the accreditation would need to be incorporated into existing modules. 
The programme will commence in October and teachers will be engaged in study of topics such as teaching for mastery and variation theory; developing their subject knowledge and pedagogy; and supporting the professional development of other teachers. The programme would particularly lend itself to action research.
 
If you are in a position to offer the opportunity for teachers to gain masters credits and potentially transfer existing credits then please send the following details:

Name of Institution
Name of Masters Module
Number of Credits Available
Web Address for further details
Contact Name and Email

Please note we will pass on your details to the teachers and then leave it up to them to contact you and finalise arrangement should they wish to. 
 
Kind Regards
Debbie
