PL Courses | Teaching the Full Range of Learners | After-school PL

Course Description

In this hands-on workshop, participants will be empowered with pedagogical content knowledge and tools to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of all students in their classrooms. Anita Chin will guide your staff through the Multiplication and Division substrand of the NSW Mathematics K–6 Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum to show how the ‘big ideas’ develop from Kindergarten to Year 8.

Working as a whole school group, participants will engage in a range of classroom-ready, developmentally sequenced tasks for use in the classroom. Anita will use these tasks to demonstrate a variety of strategies for differentiation of multiplication and division, including the use of language, concrete materials and printables. Anita will also facilitate a discussion of available teacher resources, including books and equipment.

Delivery Model

This short course is delivered as an after-school customised workshop at your school for your whole staff. It most often follows a day of demonstration lessons on the same concept, but it can also be delivered as a ‘stand-alone’ course. It is suitable for early career teachers, experienced teachers, learning support educators, maths leaders and school leaders.

You can choose either a 2-hour or 3-hour course. If you choose the 3-hour course, teachers will have the opportunity to delve deeper into the developmental sequence of content from Kindergarten to Year 6. The 3-hour course also allows time for teachers to work in small teams to reflect on their current practice and begin to determine areas of change moving forward.
