Expression of Interest in the Primary Numeracy Network 2016

The Numeracy Team offers a Primary Numeracy Network for teachers in Primary school (R-5 and R-7) who have a leadership role in mathematics and/or numeracy. This circular is seeking expression of interest from these teachers to be part of this network in 2016. Participants need to commit to all of the network days.

The Primary Numeracy Network aims to:

• build capacity in leading numeracy and mathematics teaching and learning at the school level
• develop the lead teachers' expertise in numeracy and mathematics teaching and learning.  Topics include:  leading mathematics/numeracy in schools, STEM, pedagogical content knowledge in mathematics, building an evidence-based practice, the Australian Curriculum    
• provide a forum for lead teachers to network with others about current thinking in the teaching and learning of mathematics and the development of numeracy     
• provide updates on state and national agendas relating to mathematics and numeracy
• explore coding in the mathematics curriculum

The following are dates for the Primary Numeracy Network for 2016:

Schools will be reimbursed for every two sessions attended. Please note that reimbursement is per school and not per teacher/leader; however, schools are welcome to send more than one leader/teacher.
