Maths Teacher Subject Specialism Training 2020/21 at Malmesbury School
This course is specifically designed to develop the subject knowledge of qualified teachers who did not train as maths teachers. It is also suitable for returning teachers who need to refresh their subject knowledge. The programme runs over 6 sessions which will build your skills and confidence to deliver good and outstanding maths lessons up to GCSE, address misconceptions and improve your understanding of how key ideas develop across the key stages. This high quality training opportunity has been developed in collaboration with the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching (CIMT) and is completely FREE OF CHARGE through funding from the DfE.
Our Maths TSST programme is offered at Malmesbury School this year and we hope to be able to run face to face sessions supported by online resources. It is likely that the first sessions will be online.

Feedback from previous delegates
The TSST training for maths at Malmesbury School has set up an opportunity for me that I would not have otherwise had. As soon as I heard about the programme I signed up for it and I have not regretted it once.
There were several others on the course and everyone it seemed had different circumstances or perspectives on the training. For me, it meant the possibility of training as a maths teacher and learning to teach a completely different subject from my current one. The course completely satisfied my needs in this respect and talking to the other participants, the course was flexible enough to cater for them too. From teachers new to maths to cross phase training everyone seemed to be properly challenged and to gain so much from the course.
