Why Become a Mastery Specialist?

There are currently hundreds of Mastery Specialists supporting colleagues in their own schools and beyond to develop mastery approaches to maths teaching. Mastery Specialists are classroom-based practitioners who develop expertise in mastery and lead Work Groups to support other schools and teachers locally.

Here is what some of our Primary Mastery Specialists have to say about the role and their experiences:

“My subject knowledge has increased so much due to the quality CPD I have been offered. I have been challenged to think about Maths in different ways and have completely changed how I teach Maths. My school has the mastery approach embedded, this has taken 4 years but the impact has been amazing. I can't stop talking about the progress we have made in meetings! I have been given lots of opportunities to develop myself, for example, I have gained a PD accreditation in Maths. I have had the opportunity to work with many practitioners in Wakefield and I have had many ask for my support which is great.” Harriet Fox, Glasshoughton Infant Academy

“Great professional development in terms of my own subject knowledge.” Katie Nicholson, Elliston Primary Academy

“Fantastic cutting-edge CPD, which has developed my practice and that of my colleagues.” Amanda Wilson, Waterton Academy Trust

“I have been on a huge learning journey with the maths hubs since becoming a mastery specialist, it has changed my approach to teaching in maths and across the curriculum. The amazing opportunity of observing maths in Shanghai is something that will stay with me forever.” Emma Ellis, St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School
