This is a series of online courses focusing on five of the sub-elements of the National Numeracy Learning Progression. Each course is a separate registered course through NESA. The courses are based on the webinars (of the same names) run in 2018.
For each course there is a pre-reading task of a research paper related to the sub element being discussed in the course. Participants will need to complete the reading and also complete a short quiz about the reading as part of the accreditation. The pre-reading task and quiz contributes 1 hour of the 2 hours for the course. Participants then view a series of videos (lessons) and respond to poll questions throughout the course. Viewing the videos and responding to the questions will contribute to 1 hour of the 2 hour course.
As each course is broken into sections (lessons), as you complete a section, this information will be saved so that you can logout and log back in to complete the task at a time that suits you.
Information regarding login details and access to the course/s through our learning management system (Heroica) will be emailed to all participants once they have purchased a course.
Katherin Cartwright, who will be leading the webinars, has over 20 years’ experience teaching primary students and supporting teachers specifically in mathematics in her previous role as State Mathematics Advisor for the NSW Department of Education. Katherin was on the writing team that developed the National Numeracy Learning Progression in collaboration with ACARA and is currently a PhD student and casual lecturer/tutor at the University of Sydney.
Registrations for these courses are open now, with a special bundle option (5 courses for the price of 4) available.
Each course will cost $25.
Completing any of the Numeracy Unpacked courses before 31 July 2021 under NESA’s interim arrangements will contribute 2 hours of NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) Accredited PD in the priority area of Delivery and assessment of NSW Curriculum, addressing standard descriptors 2.5.2, 6.2.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.
