Open Lessons Opportunity - Telford

We have welcomed Ping and Yanwen to Coalbrookdale and Ironbridge CE Primary
School. Teachers can book to watch two lessons and participate in post-lesson discussions
on Friday morning this week or Monday or Tuesday mornings next week.

Ping and Yanwen, specialist primary maths teachers from Shanghai, are working with two
of our teaching for mastery specialist teachers, Louise and Emma.

Ping will be teaching Multiplication with Year 2.
Yanwen will be teaching Fractions with Year 5.

Bookings can be made from the links below:

18th Jan - 0910-1145 - 2 lessons and post-lesson discussion (Yr 2-Multiplication. Yr 5-
Fractions)
21st Jan - 0910-1145 - 2 lessons and post-lesson discussion (Yr 2-Multiplication. Yr 5-
Fractions)
22nd Jan - 0910-1145 - 2 lessons and post-lesson discussion (Yr 2-Multiplication. Yr 5-
Fractions)

Please note that we only have a small number of places still available for Friday so
recommend prompt booking, with slightly greater availability for Monday and Tuesday.

Teachers taking part in the Teaching for Mastery work groups already have arrangements
to participate on 16th, 17th or 23rd January, as part of their programme.

Thank you to colleagues from Coalbrookdale and Ironbridge CE Primary for making Ping
and Yanwen feel so welcome. Thanks also for supporting arrangements to enable more
than 200 local primary teachers watch Yanwen and Ping teach and discuss the lessons
and planning.

Primary Teaching for Mastery (TfM) Work Groups - 2019/20

The applications process to participate in the main Teaching for Mastery (TfM) work groups
for 2019-20 is now open, with a deadline of 5pm on Friday 22nd March. Please send
completed applications to mathshub@tpstrust.co.uk

These groups include up to £3000 funding per school to support participation.

Louise George, Headteacher at Walford Primary School, Ross-on-Wye explains why her
school joined the Teaching for Mastery programme in this video, including how it has led to
an all-round improvement in Maths attainment at the school.

With over half of primary schools in Salop and Herefordshire already participating in the
TfM programme, an increasing proportion of our work groups will be dedicated to support
participating schools.
