4 Summary About this guidance This guidance is to support schools to apply for grant funding to design and deliver teacher subject specialism training (TSST) in secondary maths and/or physics. Purpose of teacher subject specialism training: To improve the maths and physics subject knowledge of non-specialist teachers and those teachers looking to return to the profession and increase the number of hours taught, by offering school-led teacher subject specialism training opportunities. There are two grant funding opportunities available (see table 1). We recommend that before applying you meet with your strategic partners (schools, universities and others) to discuss and agree your plans for delivery. Key dates Application round opens: Friday 11 March 2016 Application round closes: 5 pm Thursday 28 April 2016 Outcomes communicated: May 2016 Start-up meetings: Monday 23 May London Wednesday 25 May London Thursday 26 May Sheffield 4
5 Guidance Context Teacher subject specialism training (TSST) forms part of a five year commitment to transform STEM teaching in England and is focused on existing teachers, with the aim of building the capacity of non-specialists who may be able to move into a maths or physics role. In addition, it aims to upskill non-specialists who are currently teaching maths or physics and those looking to return to the profession, thereby increasing the number of maths and physics hours taught. The aim is for a total of 15,000 participants to have undertaken the training by July 2020, at no financial cost to the participant. 1 The first year of teacher subject specialism is underway with programmes due to complete in June We are now moving TSST forwards into academic years 2016/17 and 2017/18. School-led teacher subject specialism training The recruitment of teachers in STEM subjects is a challenge for many schools and as a result they are deploying non-specialist teachers to cover their specialist recruitment gaps. This can cause disruption for pupils and schools and can impact on attainment. In March 2015 we launched the first year of TSST, a school-led model where lead schools design and deliver TSST in secondary maths and/or physics to meet local and regional needs. Courses are designed to reflect the individual needs of the participant, so there is no definitive description of a course or fixed delivery model. Training being offered includes face-to-face, online, coaching, lesson observation and mentoring, and is embedded in teachers classroom practice. Core strengths of this approach are: Lead schools understanding of, and responses to, the pressures on headteachers to release staff The bespoke, differentiated approach to meet teacher needs, and Schools ability to draw collaborative partners into the design, recruitment, delivery and quality assurance of programmes TSST is a national offer, and whilst lead schools will target their training to meet the needs of their locality or region, it is expected that programmes will be open to all participants across the country, to ultimately ensure that all secondary schools have access to TSST. 1 Link to Our plan for growth: science and innovation policy paper 5
6 Purpose of teacher subject specialism training To improve the maths and physics subject knowledge of non-specialist teachers and increase the number of hours of taught by offering school-led teacher subject specialism training opportunities. This includes: o Non-specialist teachers who could potentially teach maths or physics in addition to, or as their main subject o Non-specialist teachers who are currently teaching maths or physics (either full-time or in addition to the specialist subject) o Teachers who are looking to return to the profession Criteria for grant funding We invite lead schools, on behalf of groups of schools, to apply for one of two grant funding opportunities to design and deliver teacher subject specialism training in secondary maths and/or physics. We welcome applications from both lead schools from year 1 of TSST and new schools. The lead school is responsible for coordinating a single application form and will be responsible for the grant funding. Lead schools must be graded outstanding or good for overall effectiveness by Ofsted in their most recent inspection. Schools must demonstrate evidence of collaborative working with strategic partners (schools, universities, professional bodies, subject associations) to design, develop and evaluate professional development. We are looking for schools that can offer economies of scale in terms of their reach and cohort size. Lead schools should base their numbers on a realistic assessment of need, their ability to recruit participants and organisational capacity. At a national level NCTL will support lead schools through a range of activity, including: hosting a national directory of provision on Gov.uk to help teachers to find training courses providing marketing guidance and templates sharing lessons learned, benefits and successful practice from year 1. Grant funding Lead schools who meet the eligibility criteria can apply for one of the following options: Table 1: Funding options Delivery period Participant numbers Funding Option 1 Grant funding for delivery in academic year 2016/17 only. (To note, this option does not preclude a further Lead schools should apply for the minimum number of participants they aim to recruit based on their capacity to deliver and identified Lead schools should apply for grant funding based on their projected costs to deliver to their identified minimum number of participants. Lead schools are expected to 6
7 Delivery period Participant numbers Funding application in subsequent years). local need. demonstrate how they will secure value for money, economies of scale or offer in kind funding as part of their application. TSST should be delivered at no financial cost to the participant. Option 2 Year on year grant funding for delivery in academic years 2016/17 and 2017/18. Lead schools should apply for the minimum number of participants they aim to recruit in each year, based on their capacity to deliver, projected growth and regional need. Lead schools should apply for grant funding for each year based on their projected costs to deliver, to their minimum target number. Lead schools are expected to demonstrate how they will secure value for money, economies of scale or offer in kind funding as part of their application. TSST should be delivered at no financial cost to the participant. Lead school requirements Successful lead schools will be required to: Attend a start-up meeting with other lead schools in May 2016 Design, implement, quality assure and evaluate effective teacher subject specialism training for teachers Ensure a minimum number of participants have undertaken teacher subject specialism training in secondary maths and/or physics Coordinate a process to offer programme certification, Masters Credits or professional awards for those participants who complete the training. This should be at no additional cost to the participant or their school Advertise their programme in the TSST national directory on the Gov.uk website (template will be provided) Submit monthly recruitment updates, termly progress reports including participant data with teacher reference numbers 2 and an impact and benefits evaluation report 2 The data is required by DfE in order to understand the take up and success of the provision. The data will be matched to administrative datasets held by DfE for analytical purposes. All analysis will be aggregated at headline 7
8 Participate fully in the external evaluation commissioned by the Department for Education Report against spend through the NCTL collaborative fund evaluation process Notify us of any change to their overall Ofsted grading Join the TSST Knowledge Hub Complete delivery of programmes by the end of the academic year 2016/17 and 2017/18 Grant funding will be released upon receipt of signed grant Terms and Conditions and dependent upon submission of satisfactory progress reports. All grant funding is subject to NCTL Collaborative Fund Grant Funding Agreement Terms, available at the link below: Certification, Masters Credits and professional awards It is a requirement that lead schools coordinate a process to offer programme certification, Masters Credits or professional awards to those participants who complete the training. This recognition can be an important consideration for participants and is an important part of the validation and quality assurance of the training. It is up to the lead school to determine the award that is most appropriate to their training. Lead schools that are applying to design and deliver physics training have the opportunity to work with the Institute of Physics (IOP) and other physics lead schools to secure IOP-enabled, community-approval for their TSST courses. IOP-enabled community approval process In year 1, IOP worked with lead schools to develop a community approval process for TSST physics programmes, whereby the schools audited each other s courses to a standard agreed during a community consultation. This was an important part of the overall quality assurance process and validation of programmes. The audit tool devised by the IOP s education department was used as a basis, and was usefully adapted based on feedback from various TSST school representatives. Approved courses were subsequently marketed on the IOP website. IOP will also be facilitating the community approval process for TSST physics in year 2. All schools that take part in this process are expected to engage fully in the community assessment process. Lead schools who wish to take part in this process or find out more about it, should register their interest on their application form. Successful lead schools will then be contacted by IOP with further details of the requirements and detailed process. level and individual teachers will not be identified. 8
9 Application guidance and look fors The lead school is responsible for coordinating a single application form with details of all schools and strategic partners involved in the delivery Applications must be submitted on the application form and ed to tsst.mailbox@education.gsi.gov.uk Applications must adhere to the word count of 250 words per answer Incomplete applications will not be accepted and will not be returned The deadline for receipt of all completed applications is 5pm Thursday 28 April. Any applications received after this deadline will not be accepted even if the delay is due to technical difficulties Applicant schools will be notified of the outcome in May. Notification will be by so please ensure you supply a correct address Lead schools are responsible for the grant funding and for delivery of all activity and reporting requirements. An assessment panel will mark each application form using a pre-defined scoring matrix. Should the number of applications exceed the funding available, we will make decisions based on the balance of the overall set of applications including: o Geographical spread o Balance between maths and physics Where applicants assess that the addition of a cross-phase (Y6-Y7) maths element will support the transition of pupils to secondary school, this can be included in their application. The programme is prioritising secondary maths and physics however and where overall applications exceed the funding available, decisions will be made on this basis. Applicant schools should provide evidence against the following questions: Table 2: Evidence look fors QUESTION: 1.
