What it covers
This unit develops your leadership skills in the context of primary school mathematics education through developing knowledge of current research in a range of areas relevant to mathematics education and effective principles for facilitating collaborative planning and professional learning in a school context. The unit will encourage you to learn about research on different mindsets and to explore individual and community strategies for promoting children's motivation to learn mathematics. Issues and resources related to being in a mathematics education leadership role in schools (specialist, coach, coordinator, leading teacher etc.) will be explored. This unit will also build on learning from previous units to support the ongoing development of mathematical knowledge for teaching and an in-depth understanding of curriculum content and structure.
