About the program?

The BMU program provides content, pedagogy and networking support for secondary maths teachers. The format is 14 online, on-demand modules (each including videos and supporting resources). The program is housed in a convenient online portal with individual user log-ins.

 

Our program can support all secondary teachers. However, we have four main target groups (as can be seen below under “Target groups”). This program responds to the enormous issue that mathematics education faces with maths teacher shortages and maths teachers who have difficulty accessing need-specific support.  

 

Why are we creating this program?

The shortage of mathematics teachers in Victoria, particularly in regional areas, is a major challenge. Out-of-field maths teachers are common, often lacking confidence and harbouring mathematical misconceptions themselves, which, if transferred to students, exacerbate problems. Currently, no programs offer support to teachers in these positions. On-demand professional learning offers flexible and accessible opportunities for teachers to enhance their skills, knowledge and support networks.
