Let C’(t) be the change in Curriculum at time t
Our Maths and Stats learning area has a new whakatauki: Ānō me he whare pūngāwerewere. This talk will explore parts of our new curriculum and adjacent documents to see just how fitting the spiderweb metaphor is. We’ll do plenty of casual math along the way (some rough paper will be handy) and think about the connections that are possible. With our teaching potae on: we’ll consider the role good maths teachers plays in these changing times.
Jared holds a BSc, Diploma in Teaching, and a Master of Professional Studies that he completed as part of his Kalman fellowship in 2019. Beyond leading the mathematics department at Western Springs College in Auckland, he is heavily involved in the school's community, sports, and sustainability initiatives. He has also made a phenomenal contribution to the teaching community of NZ through his work for the Auckland Maths Association's AMA online initiative and regular presentations at PD events such as this one across his teaching career.
