Mathematics Subject Knowledge Enhancement Course (Post ITT)
Good Mathematics teachers are in short supply. This new course is aimed at practising teachers who are already qualified to teach in schools and colleges, but who currently are not qualified to teach Mathematics. These teachers may already be teaching Mathematics or may wish to teach Mathematics in the future; equally the course could be of benefit to qualified teachers returning to teaching.
Our School has a long and successful history of providing excellent quality subject knowledge enhancement courses in Mathematics for pre-service teachers, staffed by qualified and experienced teachers.
UEL is one of a small number of providers who have been selected to run the Mathematics Subject Knowledge CPD course for in-service teachers who do not have a formal qualification in Mathematics, but who would like to upgrade their subject knowledge.
This is an innovative and enjoyable training course that explores Mathematics in a range of contexts across Key Stage 3 and 4. You will gain a deeper understanding of Mathematics concepts and constructs through study and hands-on practical workshops. There is a strong focus on helping participants to experience “how to teach” a particular topic or concept.
What you study
Modules include:
- Geometry and Trigonometry
- Statistics
- Number and Algebra.
Assessment
There are no formal assessment points in this course.
Your future career
The course starts you on the path of acquiring Mathematics Pedagogic Content Knowledge. Extending your subject knowledge enhances your own confidence, and ability to engage pupils across a broader and deeper range of Mathematics knowledge and understanding.
It is envisaged that teachers who complete this course will choose to complement their current teaching by also teaching Mathematics, if they do not already do so. Given the current shortage of good Mathematics teachers, teaching in this area can have a very positive effect on your future career.
