Workshop A1
Leading a whole-school approach to developing mathematical minds
Do you need to inspire and support your staff to be confident in developing mathematical thinkers in their classrooms? You need a whole-school approach to mathematics! In this workshop, Anita will outline and explain a model to develop a whole-school approach to transform the teaching and learning of mathematics at your school. The model addresses both school culture and beliefs, as well as the nuts and bolts of high quality teaching and learning of mathematics.

After explaining the model, Anita will unpack three elements in more detail and provide strategies for achieving these at your school: (1) forming a dedicated Maths Crew; (2) building content knowledge in your staff; and (3) implementing a consistent lesson structure for mathematics K-6. You will be inspired to start leading the change to a whole-school approach to mathematics at your school!
