Making a positive difference in numeracy

Abstract

In 2009, Two Wells Primary School in SA set out to make a positive difference to students' learning in Numeracy, using a coaching model supported by the Smarter Schools National Literacy and Numeracy Partnership project. This was an 18-month, whole-school program that focused on Number as the area of learning to be improved.

From diagnostic data collected between 2009 and 2011, a continual increase was clearly identified in students' abilities as a result of this strategy. There was also improved engagement of Aboriginal students in their learning community.
