Applications should be returned to info@bbomathshub.org.uk as soon as possible.
Mastery Readiness
The Mastery Readiness programme is for schools who have a commitment to developing a teaching for mastery approach long term but currently need additional support for improving mathematics teaching, learning and leadership. It is a project that will develop vital skills and practices for schools that have not yet accessed the Teaching for Mastery programme. Participant schools will access free 5 full-day workshops and regular high quality bespoke support from our Mastery Readiness Lead, in the form of school visits.
The programme will focus on two key areas:
- Development of classroom culture and attitudes to mathematics that will support a teaching for mastery approach, both on the part of teachers and their pupils.
- The development of leadership that will remove barriers and put in place structures to support change and teacher professional development in relation to teaching for mastery.
