Teaching for Mastery with Steph Kirk
We explore the concept of mastery in mathematics education with Steph Kirk.
This week’s episode features Steph Kirk @Steph_mathsive, a dedicated Year 7 teacher at a newly established school. Together, we discuss the unique challenges and opportunities of focusing solely on Year 7 students, the importance of professional development within departments, and practical ways to integrate mastery into lesson planning and teaching. Key topics include using Rekenreks, leveraging NCETM Mastery resources, finding local maths hubs, and implementing ready-to-progress criteria.
