3Another great paper from our friends at @CISOZ!
Neat new paper from @CISOZ that challenges some of the biggest myths about effective maths instruction and provides the evidence-based alternatives. https://www.cis.org.au/publication/myths-that-undermine-maths-teaching/
Another great week coaching dedicated teachers and demonstrating evidence-based instructional strategies in @ceacg classrooms. Teachers supporting teachers: the way it should always be. @DrLSHammond @BrookeWardana @douglas_elena @ellis_patrick @Rossefox
3Visiting some amazing teachers at WA’s longest standing primary school - Guildford PS. Not only has it been running since 1868 and rich in history. But how many schools do you know have their own cookbook? 🤯😊
