Course description
These face-to-face sessions aim to enhance mathematics teaching and learning across Tasmanian schools and to strengthen the leadership capacity of those in mathematics and numeracy roles or those aspiring to lead. The focus will be on delivering high-quality, evidence-based Tier 1 mathematics instruction aligned with DECYP’s Pedagogical Framework, the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics (v9), and the Numeracy Toolkit from the Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC).
Over the four days there will be opportunities to network with other leaders and connect with the DECYP Numeracy Team who will outline ongoing support for 2025.
