Do any of these apply to you?

  • I want more of my students genuinely engaged and displaying agency. 

  • Help! I know I REACT waay too often. I want to learn how to RESPOND in the heat of the moment.

  • I want strategies that work for MY situation - not one-size-fits-all strategies.

  • Too many of my students take little-or-no responsibility for their learning. (Apparently, it’s all up to me!)

  • I'm working too hard in the classroom. And I often feel like I'm pushing uphill!

Testimonials

“ The best aspect of the course was having advice that targeted all those beginning teacher questions that I have often been wondering about. This aspect was what made the course great! I was inspired by the ideas that came through that aligned with many of the things I already believed and aspired to implement but didn't have the courage or knowledge of where to start. I was surprised by how many people had similar issues or had made similar mistakes to me in the beginning of my career. It was very comforting to know I wasn't alone. The course has had a dramatic impact on my classes. They have already begun to improve as a result of the strategies learned from this course. ”

Rob Sibley, Trangie Central School

“The best aspect was being able to listen and understand I am not alone and many many others have been through and continue to go through it. I also like the have-a-chat videos as they are good to hear different stories or sides in real settings. The course has helped me get motivated to work with my classes and get the vibe right and to establish the two-way street of respect and expectations to make teaching run more smoothly. Isabella Fawcett, Trangie Central School”

“I really enjoyed the practical strategies and observing change in action (the John Bayley videos). It has also been encouraging to see through stories how different the journey can be for many different people. I have gained excitement for seeing where my journey goes. The vision document was useful for putting my goals for change on paper and motivating me to bring about this change in my classes to create the best learning environment I can where students have agency in their learning. Lachlan Davies, Hawkesbury High School”

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.
