Description
Summary:Thirty primary classroom teachers quantified perceived changes in their practice and knowledge attributed to their school leaders' participation in a six-day course focused on leaders designing and implementing a whole-school reform of mathematics teaching and learning, and the school-based professional learning that followed. The project and framework underpinning the reform are outlined, and the teachers' reported changes in pedagogical practices are described. Teachers identified many changes in pedagogy and growth in knowledge. Not surprisingly, changes in pedagogical practices were even greater for specialist mathematics teachers who had also participated in a separate six-day course.
