partners

All schools that are involved in the project have at least half of all staff engaged in the learning and delivery Schools can demonstrate a shift from ‘routines of thinking’ to a ‘culture of thinking. Teachers move from ‘initial’ and ‘developing’ to ‘strong’

Can answer the question- What metacognitive language are children demonstrating in the classroom to show quality thinking, ownership of learning and interpretation? Recognition by school and broader communities of the success via action research results and engagement in activities. Teachers involved and excited about presenting to colleagues. Interest by other schools in the successes shared. End of year reports of progress and involvement from each school.

Deliverables 1. Champions Group continues and conducts

research and facilitate PD to build leadership and to define what strong practice and move towards it move from ‘routines’ to ‘culture’. 4 Champions meetings per year held in school time- 1.30-3 pm

2012 GLC Project Profile- Proportional Reasoning as a Key to Numeracy across the Curriculum Strategic Focus- Proportional reasoning is a major aspect of numeracy and is an essential, foundational skill for achieving in post-compulsory schooling. Explicit teaching accelerates the development of students’ proportional reasoning skills. Project Purpose- Targeted teacher professional development leading to enhanced teacher knowledge and the ability to identify instructional opportunities for propor-tional reasoning across the curriculum. Teachers from the GLC and personnel from UQ will work together to address issues.

Results we want by 2013 How will the GLC know the project is successful?

for further education Opportunities for learning through

technology; capitalizing on preferred learning modes

For teachers Increased awareness of and

enhanced teaching for proportional reasoning

Adapting to the changing role of teaching with ICT

Opportunities for credit towards higher degree study

For schools Sustained PD through partnerships

with tertiary institutions Networking through clusters

Background The improved teaching of Proportional Reasoning has been the focus of a large research project undertaken by The University of Queensland from 2007 to 2010. The research has focussed on developing models of targeted teacher professional development that enhance teacher knowledge and the ability to identify instructional opportunities for proportional reasoning across the curriculum. Now in 2011, and for the next three years, the forty GLC Teachers are joining with the University of Queensland in the next phase of research funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC), in conjunction with Education Queensland and SA Department of Education and Children's Services.

Deliverables 3 year project partnership with

university researchers 8 half-day PD workshops targeting

proportional reasoning across middle years curricula
