Join us as we explore the impact that students’ mindsets have on their progress in mathematics and the role that teachers can play in enhancing student attitudes and dispositions towards learning. This workshop will be a professional exploration of the four essential steps to foster a Maths Mindset Culture in your school; * Reflect with stakeholders * Collaboratively construct consistent messaging * Develop maths mindsets in the classroom * Embed maths mindsets across the school community Participants in this workshop will be given the opportunity to reflect on their own teaching practice and discover practical ways to build positive attitudes and maths wellbeing. Informed by the most current research on maths anxiety and mathematical mindsets from key researchers including Dr Jo Boaler and Dr Sarah Buckley, this workshop aims to equip teachers with the knowledge needed to boost student engagement and achievement and promote an appreciation for mathematics.

Key takeaways:
1. As educators, our personal maths journeys influence our teaching.
2. Mindset messaging that is evidence-based, consistently reinforced and embedded across the school community has the power to positively impact maths wellbeing. 
3. Participants will take away a strategic and practical plan, incorporating lesson structures and shared language, to promote productive dispositions and a positive maths mindset culture in their own classrooms and communities.
