Course Description

Develop as a mentor of early career maths teachers

On this course, you’ll be led by experts from the UCL Institute of Education as you learn how to support less experienced maths teachers.

This course offers a chance to engage in-course discussion with your peers to help you boost your own subject knowledge in teaching secondary school students and apply new research to your teaching practice.

As a mentor, you’ll use your personal experience to reflect upon and develop further your practice as well as share your expertise with new teachers.

The course leaders regularly run live Q&A sessions on this course. Any upcoming dates in the next month will be advertised under the “Learning on this course” section below.

This course is suitable for those who have been teaching mathematics at secondary school level for at least three years. This background is needed as mentors draw upon their observations and wealth of knowledge as experienced teachers to suggest effective and workable approaches for maths lessons.
