Leading Mathematics in Primary Schools (EDUC90861)

This elective aims to build the capacity of Teacher Candidates, studying to become Mathematics Specialists, to develop and sustain improvement in student mathematics outcomes. The elective is designed to deepen the Teacher Candidates’ knowledge and understanding of:

• Mathematics pedagogical content knowledge and evidence-based approaches to mathematics pedagogy
• The use of a range of assessment tools to analyse students' mathematical skills, understandings, and strategies to plan for targeted and differentiated mathematics teaching at the individual, class and whole-school level
• Leadership capabilities required to support their colleagues to become effective mathematics teachers so all students learn and are engaged.

This elective builds on the subject, EDUC90834 Primary Mathematics 2 Extension, completed before this elective and Primary Mathematics 3 Extension being taken at the same time as this elective.
