SECONDARY MATHS SUBJECT LEADERSHIP
Professional development designed specifically for secondary heads of maths
This project provides an opportunity for participants to deepen their understanding of teaching approaches, of their wider roles, and of their capacity with their colleagues to transform secondary maths learning.
They will work collaboratively with other subject leaders in the London SW Maths hub region, discuss developments and engage with research, and use this experience to inform their work in leading and developing maths education in school.
It will also offer focused support to secondary heads of department/subject leaders to develop in their role as leaders of mathematics education in a vibrant professional learning community.

Who can take part?
The project is for secondary heads of department/subject leaders, and is open to heads of department in schools already involved with Maths Hubs and to those who are not yet involved. In their first year of engagement with this project, participants will be part of a Work Group. In subsequent years they will be part of a Maths Hub-led subject leadership community.
