Specialisation and instructional leadership are topical in Australian education. It is timely, then, to think about how we prepare job-embedded primary mathematics specialists and the structures needed to support them. Emerging research insights from PMSI bit.ly/3qL8FJs
The three main areas of focus of the PMSI theoretical framework in this study were understanding and leading self, working with and influencing others, and being catalysts for change. Curriculum was designed around these three phases, adapted for each 2-yr cohort #mathspecialists
Notice and wonder is such a powerful approach associated with maths teaching. It is also the basis of support for people you know: noticing something is different; wondering about what they are saying and doing, and what is going on in their lives. Then having a conversation...
This isn't always easy or comfortable. But it makes such a difference. There are really helpful resources about the signs to look for, ways to approach conversations, and other important considerations at ruok.org.au/how-to-ask
PMSI is back! So exciting to see the 2021-22 cohort again & hear how their mathematics specialist roles are developing. “Slowing down to go deeper” is working well! Still lots to think about as we support each other @EmmaTattle @MrsAnderson35 @MissFlee_ @PheganRenee @laujbarry
There are people who move through your life, & others that move with you. I’m blessed to have the Dougs of this world with me. We all need people who believe when we don’t, & challenge us to think that we can. I wouldn’t be me without them. I am a collector of wisdom and joy😊
New academic Q: Do YOU do the assessment task you set for preservice teachers? In schools I always encouraged teachers to try maths tasks to get a students’ view & poss responses. So, should I write the essay before setting it? @MqNumeracy @surfmaths @ayliedavidson @janettebobis
I am confessing my love for A5 note books as I continue to learn and think about new ideas. The front label for this year’s was inspired by a line in your book @pgliljedahl 😊
Welcome to my office. Let’s talk about mathematicians and do some thinking.
Forgive my (undergrad) son’s cute graffiti 😊
To my amazing husband who has been battling Motor Neuron Disease for 2 years now. You inspire me.
This disease is an insidious beast. Please buy an MND beanie or donate to research so we can find a cure 💙

Just got paid for my first manuscript proofreading stint !! 🥰 🎉
If anyone needs any proofreading/copy editing done pls hit my line 💗
Thanks MANSW for giving me the opportunity to try out some dangerous ideas in my first masterclass presentation! Thanks @AmberBidwell1 and @KrisWestcott1 for exploring Flatland with me!

Excited to be part of this dynamic research community 😊
Today we highlight @laurindalomas who joined @MqNumeracy at the beginning of the year.
She is a Lecturer at @MQEducation and she shares with us her interest in teacher's knowledge and Realistic Mathematics Education (RME).
Walking in to my first day of my first academic position with a smile, and a few nerves! So grateful to all those who have supported my journey, and encouraged me to reach for this.
We are going to have fun @MQEducation
PMSI 2021-22😊
How many people will turn 40 in Australia today?
Many attempts & crunchy eyebrows in our assessment PL with fabulous Doug Clarke!
Which answer do you think is closest - 3288, 761 or 1264?
What did you assume?

PMSI 2021-22 Making sense of fractions with the Doug Clarke 😊“Cameras down” to watch MS solve cuisenaire probs, breakout rooms for small groups & jamboards to share chocolate! So interactive! Proud of your work @MissFlee_ @MrsAnderson35 @EmmaTattle @PheganRenee @AStevenson_DEL
You know your first lens when you see a tipped out snack pack of Smarties…
