Build Me Up
|
Have you been thrown into the deep end, teaching secondary school mathematics but not so confident in the content yourself? Unfortunately, maths teacher numbers are dwindling and this shortage leads to many untrained teachers finding themselves faced with having to teach something that isn't within their comfort zones.
Say "goodbye" to Imposter Syndrome, and "hello" to the MAV Building Teacher Capacity Program - a professional learning OnDemand program open to all secondary teachers who would like extra support with the Years 7-10 mathematics curriculum. This program is targeted at upskilling out-of-field teachers, teachers who are new to the profession and regional and rural teachers who may not readily have access to professional learning.
