In 2019, all teaching and executive staff in Primary Schools across the Queanbeyan Network of Schools will be part of the MathBurst Spatial Reasoning Program trial. MathsBURST is an inquiry-based teacher professional learning and student enrichment program that:
¨ develops students’ mathematics understandings through the spatial reasoning component of the general numeracy capability; and
¨ promotes STEM practices through units of work that integrate STEM across all curriculum areas with digital tools.
ALL teaching and executive staff are instructed to attend a professional learning day on Monday March 11th, 2019. To enable this training to take place, a variation of Staff Development Day from Thursday 19 December 2019 to Monday March 11 2019 for all Queanbeyan Network Primary Schools has been approved by the Deputy Secretary – Murat Dizdar.
This means Monday 11th March (Canberra Day) is a pupil free day as ALL staff will attend the professional learning event at the University of Canberra.
