Register for PL

The MIND Project is a comprehensive professional learning program designed to boost the skills of numeracy leaders and P–6 teachers. Through explicit instruction, evidence-based practices, data-informed teaching, and whole-school strategies, this program supports schools in achieving meaningful, long-term improvements in student mathematics outcomes.

Aligned with the AITSL Professional Standards for Teachers, the program ensures that educators are well-equipped to deliver systematic, rigorous mathematics learning. As the Grattan Institute (2025) notes: “When maths is taught well, children and the nation benefit. But taught poorly, students are robbed of a core life skill.”

Key Aims:

• Improve student mathematics dispositions, achievements, and outcomes.
• Build teacher knowledge, confidence, and capacity in teaching mathematics.
• Implement and refine Daily Review practices, supported by observation and feedback.
• Use and analyse AIS NSW Numeracy Screener data to guide instruction.
