How will I be assessed?

You will be assessed through work based on your classroom experience, showing your ability to plan effectively, undertake assessment and develop your subject knowledge. Your mathematics subject knowledge is assessed through a combination of programme work assignments, examinations and presentations. As you progress from observer to teacher in school, you will be assessed through lesson observation reports. Your professional development will be mapped against the Teachers’ Standards (2012) for the award of QTS.

Who will be teaching me?

 You will be taught by tutors at the cutting edge of national developments within education who write textbooks and mathematics schemes for national publication. The programme team runs an annual national competition for schools and is actively involved in the promotion of Mathematics in local schools. These links are of real benefit to our trainees and allow the opportunity for a series of Royal Institution masterclasses for Year 9 pupils to be planned and delivered by Secondary Mathematics Education students each year.
