This could be you ...

  • You are feeling empowered because you are much more able to bring concepts alive for students.

  • Clever GeoGebra files allow you to turn the lights on for students. Hence ... many more AHA moments for students.

  • You have a unique way of presenting maths. Now you create files as an extension of the way you teach.

  • Increased student understanding means increased student engagement. And this leads to greater agency in students and more efficient teaching.

Testimonials

“This course is brilliant and it gave me pretty much everything I was hoping to gain. I really liked the idea of replicating the files as it made me see how easy little things were to implement. The strategies explained in the course, honestly, are so in line with my own thinking of how the whole education process should be. GeoGebra is definitely a software which can instantaneously show a student's understanding (or lack of) of the concept being working on. In other words, it fills the gap between theory and practice. With GeoGebra, students get to show what they've learned and if they can apply their knowledge. Simply a great course, excellent pace, friendly approach by the facilitators. I am very grateful. ”

Ile Ilijevski, Northfleet School For Girls, UK.

“Honestly, this GeoGebra online course was one of the few PD courses that provided me with skills, ideas and inspiration. The videos were very efficient in explaining GeoGebra, the Maths topics provided featured good variety with activities including illustration, partly completed and student-centred files. I feel as though the time and effort spent to fulfill the requirements and implementations was worthwhile and provided me with solid skills and knowledge that will make my lessons more insightful and engaging.”

Saad Ahmed, Blaxland High School

“I have done the engagement (Agency) course and then decided to do this one as a follow-up. I thought I knew "enough" about GeoGebra to be useful, but how very wrong I was. I have learned heaps and still know there is way more to learn. However, I think the majority of that will be more about how to teach maths conceptually (using GeoGebra) rather than how to use GeoGebra. Seeing some of the other people's files has really opened my eyes to the range of ways GeoGebra can be used.”

Jon Blencowe, Denison College

Richard Andrew

Hi! I’m Richard. I’ve been delivering PD to teachers since 2007 - after twenty-plus years in the classroom, six as a Department Head. My main PD thrust is to support teachers to improve their ability to foster agency and understanding in students. This is because we only shine as mathematics teachers when our students demonstrate agency ... when students assume ownership through experiencing a sense of control over their learning. I've always been fascinated by the craft of teaching maths. I have a knack for presenting complex pedagogical ideas in easy-to-follow ways, and in the absence of edu-babble.
