TSST West Midlands
Teacher Subject Specialism training
TSST is available in:
- core maths
- secondary maths
- physics
- modern foreign languages (MFL)
The purpose of TSST is to:
- improve the subject knowledge of non-specialist teachers and returning teachers
- increase the number of hours taught in these subjects
The training is free of charge to participants.
The School Inspection Handbook (May 2019) states that: ‘Research and inspection evidence suggest that the most important factors in how, and how effectively, the curriculum is taught and assessed are that: Teachers have expert knowledge of the subjects that they teach. If they do not, they are supported to address gaps in their knowledge so that pupils are not disadvantaged by ineffective teaching. ‘ In particular: ‘all teachers of mathematics, including non-specialist teachers of mathematics, have sufficient mathematical and teaching content knowledge to deliver topics effectively.’
The training is free of charge to participants.
