You just have to read the daily newspaper to realise that there is change afoot in the world of Education. Evidence-informed decisions are now, more than ever, critical to ensure we are leading our schools effectively. As a Numeracy Leader, principals and colleagues often look for guidance, support and informed advice on the best course of action for the school to follow.

In this session Ange shares five practical tips to support Numeracy Leaders to remain sane, confident and clear in their vision for their school. Participants will walk away from this session with an understanding of important research to be aware of as we make school-based decisions about our Numeracy instruction.

Key takeaways:
1. Understanding of the current ‘state of play’ in numeracy education.
2. Understanding of the importance of making researchinformed decisions.
3. Five practical tips for leading numeracy with confidence.
