Becoming a Better Maths Teacher: Craig Barton's Aussie Tour with Ollie Lovell - Melbourne

For the first time ever, the UK's most celebrated mathematics teacher, podcaster, and author, Craig Barton, is coming to Australia for a nationwide tour. Craig will be joined by Australia’s own Ollie Lovell for an unforgettable day of professional learning designed to transform your teaching practice.

In this full-day intensive training, Craig and Ollie will guide you through practical, evidence-based strategies to elevate your classroom practice. Highlights of the day include:

• Maximising learning in the first 10 minutes of a lesson and to set the tone for the whole lessons
• Crafting effective worked examples to ensure students grasp new concepts with clarity
• Streamlining feedback practices to make giving and gathering feedback efficient and impactful
• Sustaining your growth and inspiration as a mathematics teacher throughout your career

Each strategy will be underpinned by research and brought to life with real-world examples (and non-examples) from the classroom. You’ll have the chance to engage in discussions, debate ideas, and rehearse techniques with a community of like-minded educators. Walk away with ready-to-use strategies for your next lesson and tools to build long-term success in your teaching journey.
