Teacher subject specialism training

Teacher Subject Specialism Training (TSST) is designed for non-specialist teachers who are teaching mathematics, Core Maths, physics or MFL (French and Spanish), those who wish to offer these subjects as an additional subject, and those looking to return to teaching. These funded programmes will cover subject knowledge and specialist pedagogic content knowledge (PCK) to support you to improve your impact in the classroom.

The Mathematics and Science Learning Centre, University of Southampton offers the longest-running successful subject specialism programme in the region, drawing on expertise from experienced tutors.

TSST is specifically targeted at:

non-specialist teachers who could potentially teach mathematics, physics or MFL in addition to, or as their main subject.
non-specialist teachers who are currently teaching mathematics, physics or MFL (either full-time or in addition to the specialist subject).
teachers who are looking to return to the profession.

In addition to non-specialists and returning teachers, TSST MFL also targets

specialist MFL teachers who are not currently teaching MFL and who need refresher training to enable a move back to an MFL role.
specialist MFL teachers who have the capacity to teach a second language in addition to their language specialism.
overseas trained teachers.
