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

Course Description

A strong foundation in place value, including connecting whole numbers to decimals, is essential for our students to be successful in mathematics.

Anita will guide your staff through the developmental continuum of place value concepts (whole numbers and decimals) K–6 and explain the connections your students need to grasp in order to develop a strong understanding of place value.

Anita will also empower participants with strategies for whole-class differentiated instruction of place value concepts by modelling how to use mathematical language, as well as a variety of concrete materials and visual models to meet the needs of all learners. Your teachers will be confident to implement their learning and the tasks demonstrated in their own classrooms immediately.

Delivery Model

This 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.
