- Effective Differentiation: Where a growth mindset meets the ZPD.
Originally a Scottish research scientist, Yvonne started work as a teacher of mathematics and science at Sunshine College in 2007. It was here that she and fellow teacher Jodie Parsons started to develop and trial various ways to improve student outcomes in mathematics. They experimented with a variety of curriculum styles and listened to the advice (but didn’t often take it) from teachers wide and far, crediting most of their professional learning to the students themselves. At Sunshine College they revolutionised the mathematics curriculum by doing away with the text books and developing lessons which were fully inclusive and differentiated.
Originally a Scottish research scientist, Yvonne started work as a teacher of mathematics and science at Sunshine College in 2007. It was here that she and fellow teacher Jodie Parsons started to develop and trial various ways to improve student outcomes in mathematics. Both Yvonne and Jodie have co‐authored several papers and have presented at many conferences in Australia and around the world, most notably conferences in the US and New Zealand, and recently picked up an award at the ACER Excellence in Professional Practice Conference for outstanding conference presentation. Both have been a regular feature at MAV since 2009 and featured as Key Note presenters in 2014. In 2015 they will present at the IMA International Conference on Barriers and Enablers to Learning Maths: Enhancing Learning and Teaching for All Learners, held at the University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Changing the way we approach high school education is no easy task, especially when it includes the idea of throwing out textbooks. Congratulations to Jodie Parsons and Yvonne Reilly on your TEDx talk. The world needs more teachers like you. As a previous student of Sunshine College, I'm glad these students are receiving the attention they deserve.
Inspirational teachers! In school I struggled with maths and dropped it as a subject as soon as possible, but I learned as an adult that actually I could do maths. I wish I'd had these two teaching me, things would have been different and I think I would have actually enjoyed maths instead of automatically thinking I was too dumb to understand and therefore not actually trying. All schools, all subjects, should operate like this!
Schools everywhere need more teachers like this
This is a great example of why differentiation is important! Much like her cricket example, my students are all over the place with honing their design skills in Pixlr. Allowing students the opportunity to be pushed at a level that fits their needs is of great importance. I always try to push those high achieving design student's work further, while allowing those on the lower end to focus on fundamentals.
I was lucky enough to do relief teaching at Sunshine and the Maths teachers and classes were inspiring and engaging.I wish I had them as my maths teacher when I was at school :)
Fabulous presentation and inspiring teaching. Love your approach and best of all, you are keeping those kids 'in the game'!
Bruh this is my math teacher in sunshine college
I was in her class today...
6 dislikes from rubbish teachers lol
