This is our journey so far...
We began our journey back in September 2017 and since then Teaching for Mastery at Grovelands is underpinned by the belief that all children can succeed with mathematics if they work hard and have a “can do attitude.” Teaching is interactive and this approach fits well with our growth mind set philosophy “Mistakes help us learn” and “I can grow my brain.”
Our maths team have delivered lots of training to all the staff at Grovelands and we are committed to developing Teaching for Mastery in Maths across the school.
What does Teaching for Mastery look like at Grovelands now.
Assessment
Teachers record formative assessment against the national curriculum objectives. Our assessment systems allow teachers to quickly identify underachievement and any gaps in knowledge and understanding that can then be swiftly addressed through the planning and teaching cycle.
