Leading Improvements in Student Numeracy by Michael Francis Gaffney,Rhonda Faragher Pdf
What does it take to achieve lasting improvement in student numeracy? According to contributors in this book, high quality teaching combined with educational leadership at a schools and systems level can attain just that. Founded upon evidence and research from the Leading Aligned Numeracy Development (LAND) project - an Australian government initiative - this resource provides a practical framework, as well as guidelines and tools to develop teacher competence and enhance leadership systems that support and consolidate student numeracy skills. Divided into sections that build on principles and knowledge step-by-step, the book is designed to address the 'numeracy challenge' from a student achievement, teacher quality, school leadership and system policy perspective. Real-world insights, quotes and examples are drawn from a range of schools and central offices, in low SES rural, remote and metropolitan regions. Figures and tables clearly explicate the theory throughout, and a 'How to Use this Book' section delineates the link between chapters and the National Professional Standards for teachers and principals respectively.
