A School Mathematics Leader's Account of Her Leadership
Jill Cheeseman; Kerryn Driscoll
Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA) (46th, Gold Coast, Australia, Jun 30-Jul 4, 2024)
Leading primary school mathematics involves stimulating teacher learning for the purpose of improving students' mathematical outcomes. Currently there are staff shortages and school mathematics leadership may have changed. The results of a semi-structured interview with an experienced School Mathematics Leader who reflected on her work are reported here. She was asked about her "classroom work" and to describe her goals for mathematics learning. Fullan's (2001) "Framework for Leadership" was used to shape conclusions to the study around: moral purpose, knowledge building and sharing, coherence making, understanding change and relationship building.
