Who can get involved?

All DfE-accredited ITT providers are invited to nominate a lead participant in maths. Each nominated individual will work alongside a representative from their local Maths Hub leadership team to drive meaningful change in maths education across the region.

What’s involved?

Become part of a dynamic, regional professional learning community. Together, ITT maths leads and Maths Hub leaders will:

• Enhance and align maths provision with the principles of Teaching for Mastery

• Collaboratively review and refine organisational policies, curriculum design, and mentor support

• Explore how mastery-informed lesson design and feedback can be embedded into ITT programmes

What will you gain?

• A stronger, more coherent approach to maths provision across your ITT programme

• Deepened expertise in Teaching for Mastery and its classroom application

• Valuable regional collaboration with fellow ITT providers and Maths Hub experts

Commitment

Participants are expected to engage fully in all scheduled online and regional sessions and actively share insights with colleagues. Participants in these regional communities will be expected to attend three national (online) workshops, coordinated by the NCETM team. In addition, participants will collaborate as a regional community for two half-days led by their Regional Community Leads. Dates for these will be added early 2025-2026. The focus of these communities is to work with Maths Hubs to know how best to support trainee teachers to align their classroom practice with the principles of teaching for mastery.
