Mastering Teaching Programme

A six-session development programme to support every teacher to truly master the essential elements of effective classroom teaching.

Becoming a brilliant teacher requires a rigorous and reflective approach towards the ‘core elements’ of teaching and learning. When teachers have a thorough understanding of purpose, planning, subject knowledge and assessment, they are better placed to feel confident, competent and capable. This, in turn, promotes more effective learning from pupils.

Over the course of the six weeks, participants on the programme will have the opportunity to undertake learning walks, to observe effective classroom teaching from experienced teachers, to explore and practise lesson design and assessment strategies and to implement the training through teaching micro-lessons with pupils from Elmhurst Primary School.

The programme takes inspiration from countries and jurisdictions with high-performing education systems such as Singapore and Shanghai and aims to equip teachers with strategies, skills and knowledge which will enable them to teach for mastery, particularly in terms of mastery in Maths. It is suitable for primary and secondary practitioners.
