3) Sustaining Teaching for Mastery - Leadership (1) 2021-22

Dates: To be confirmed Venue tbc


A Work Group for the maths leader from any school that has previously taken part in Developing Teaching for Mastery (except schools taking part in 2020-21- these schools will join the Embedding Mastery programme). Schools taking part in the Sustaining Mastery programme will be given priority to book for the new Mastering Number Work Group.

The Work Group will focus on issues relevant to maths leaders as they continue to 'embed and sustain' Teaching for Mastery approaches in school.  Wherever possible, the Work Group will be the same group of schools that have worked together previously.

Themes for the sessions are likely to include the following, but will also be amended to reflect current developments:
