RECOMMENDED?

Yes!

I believe that for any teacher taking any of the VCE Mathematics subjects this is a very valuable PD. Every year there are new insights into what direction the teaching and assessing of Specialist Mathematics and other VCE Mathematics subjects are heading and what the expectations are of the standards required by students.

PRESENTERS?
