This is the first series of 5 live webinars focusing on the sub-elements of the National Numeracy Learning Progression. Each webinar is a separate registered course through NESA. The courses will run on five consecutive Wednesdays in Term 4 2018 (Wednesday 7th of November – Wednesday 5th of December).
The objectives for the courses are that teachers will:
For each webinar there is a pre-reading task of a research paper related to the sub-element being discussed in the webinar. Participants will need to complete the reading prior to the webinar and also complete a short survey about the reading as part of the accreditation. Participants will also be able to submit a question regarding the topic that may be answered during the webinar. The pre-reading task contributes 1 hour of the 2 hours for the course. The webinars will be 1 hour in length and attendance at the webinar will contribute 1 hour to the course.
Information regarding the reading and survey will be emailed to all participants once they have registered.

Registrations for these courses will open on Wednesday 17 October, 2018.
