Early Childhood

MAV Early Childhood School Readiness Funding (SRF) professional learning packages. Our experienced early childhood specialists work alongside services to build educator capability, strengthen leadership and drive sustainable improvement in mathematics learning.

Using the MAV Professional Growth Model (Identify, Co-plan, Enact and Review), we support services to set priorities, implement evidence-informed strategies and evaluate impact.

Professional learning can be tailored to your SRF priorities and aligned to your two-year planning cycle, with flexible delivery, strategic review points and ongoing support.

    Re-seeing Mathematics

    Reflecting on beliefs, building positive mathematical dispositions

    This workshop supports early childhood educators to reflect on and intentionally shift their dispositions towards mathematics, aligned with the EYLF v2.0 (AGDE, 2022).

    Through guided reflection, collaborative dialogue and practice-based provocations, educators examine how their mathematical identities and beliefs shape pedagogy, interactions and expectations. The workshop reframes mathematics as relational, play-based and embedded in everyday contexts, building confidence to notice, value and extend children's mathematical thinking.

    A focus on language, intentional teaching and learning dispositions supports children's confidence, curiosity, persistence and communication, contributing directly to Outcome 4 (Confident and involved learners) and Outcome 5 (Effective communicators).

    From Early Learning to School Learning

    Strengthening transition through mathematical evidence

    This workshop supports early childhood educators to strengthen transitions to primary school through a shared, evidence-informed understanding of children's mathematical learning.

    Drawing on the AERO Mathematics Learning Progressions, the EYLAT and the EYLF v2.0, educators build confidence to notice, interpret and communicate mathematical thinking within play and everyday routines. Through reflection, practical examples and collaborative analysis, they explore how learning dispositions, observable behaviours and assessment evidence align across early learning and school contexts.

    The workshop emphasises collecting authentic mathematical evidence, using assessment for learning, and clearly articulating children's strengths and learning trajectories. A focus on partnerships with families and schools reinforces transition as learning continuity, promoting children's confidence, curiosity and sense of capability as they move into primary school.

    $1,520Up to ten educators ($152 per person) MAV membership included

    Observation, Feedback and Effective Mathematics Instruction

    Coaching with Teachstone's CLASS® framework

    This workshop strengthens mathematics teaching practice through in-person observation and coaching using Teachstone's CLASS®, an internationally recognised, evidence-based framework.

    Participants explore how high-quality teacher-child interactions support engagement, mathematical thinking and conceptual understanding, including purposeful questioning, feedback and facilitating rich mathematical interactions. The session models how structured observations enable strengths-based, actionable feedback that supports reflective practice and continuous improvement.

    Designed for leaders and educators seeking to embed effective, evidence-informed coaching approaches to enhance mathematics learning for children aged 0 to 8.
