Out of Field Support Training Days – September 4 + 5, 2025 at Concordia Lutheran College, Toowoomba

Teaching maths to junior high school students is tricky at the best of times, let alone when you have limited experience or training in that area. Feeling frustrated or overwhelmed is very common. This course has been designed in consultation with Heads of Department across Australia to support you.

This course will help you to:

• develop confidence in your own understanding and teaching of the connections between: integers, fraction operations, exponents, algebra, multiplicative and proportional reasoning, probability and relative frequency, area/volume formulas, Pythagoras and deductive geometry
• know what to look for in student answers, including common misconceptions, and know how to help
• differentiate for students without driving yourself crazy, and reengage those who hate maths
• unpack assessment requirements (including both test design and the proficiency strands)

Before the course, you will be sent an optional diagnostic test to use with your students
After the course, you will be emailed “how-to” instructions or videos for the concepts covered, guides for making judgements (A-E criteria), diagnostics, and a certificate of attendance.

Join us for the day of your choice, or both days, depending on your needs:

Day 1 – Year 7 content focus + differentiation, mindset, working mathematically, and diagnostics
Day 2 – Year 8 content focus + where concepts go to in senior, proficiency strands, and test design

Where:  Concordia Lutheran College (Noack Room), Toowoomba
