Supercharge mathematics instruction with leading educators

THE FIRST NSW CONFERENCE ON EXPLICIT MATHS!

With a majority of schools working to implement explicit mathematics instruction in NSW, we have invited educators and policy leaders with deep expertise in both maths content and pedagogy informed by cognitive science to our first-of-its-kind conference. Only research validated practices will be discussed, giving participants confidence to implement and support high quality mathematics practices at their schools. The breakout session will include 3 streams: Policy, Research and Practice while keynote presentations will offer insight into effective implementation from at the system, school and classroom levels.
