ĘSOP Exceptional Outcomes in Mathematics Education
By Trevor Lynch, Debra Panizzon, John Pegg
Overview
A module of the ÆSOP Series - An Exceptional Schooling Outcomes Program
Mathematics is a vital component of everyone’s education. It is incumbent on our schools to provide their students with the best of teaching in this key learning area. How this may be achieved is the theme of this book. After their intensive observation and analysis of seven excellent Mathematics Faculties, the authors report on the characteristics of such which are associated with exceptional teaching and learning outcomes. The Faculties are located in government high schools in low, middle and high socio-economic communities throughout NSW. A fundamental question guiding the study is what are the exceptional practices resulting in sustained higher-order student learning in Mathematics? Through their detailed descriptions of the seven schools, characteristics of Faculty staff, Faculty practices and teaching practices, the authors suggest ways of rising to this challenge. A summary of the findings provides a valuable checklist for schools and Faculties determined to ensure students’ success in Mathematics.
