Intervention in the mastery context

Many schools are beginning to adopt a mastery approach to teaching mathematics and for many of them this will require that they reappraise their approach to the ways in which they support their struggling learners. Intervention in the mastery context is a comprehensive professional development course for a teacher and a teaching assistant together.
