Abstract
The Mathematics Retraining Program aims to provide teachers, who were initially trained in areas other than mathematics, with subject content knowledge and pedagogical tools to be effective mathematics teachers through enhanced learning technologies, which we pioneer at the University of Newcastle. These technologies include three platforms, each targeting different areas of development: SimSchool, SimLab and SimCave. In this project, we will develop practical Sim lessons for these three technologies. Using a mixed methodological approach, our research aims to establish the validity and reliability of the Quality Teaching model to evaluate these lessons.

Celebrating 20 years of the QT Model, QTiP23 will bring together more than 250 teachers, school leaders, education researchers and policy makers. QTiP23 is a celebration of Quality Teaching in its many forms. We recognise the complexity of teaching and the importance of local contexts in delivering great learning experiences. QTiP23 will be held at Newcastle City Hall on 29-30 May 2023. This year’s program highlights include keynote presentations from our very own Laureate Professor Jenny Gore, Emeritus Professor Dylan Wiliam (UK), and Newcastle’s 2023 Citizen of the Year and the University’s Pro Vice-Chancellor Indigenous, Strategy and Leaders, Nathan Towney. The conference will also include presentations from a diverse array of teachers and school leaders about their experiences with the QT Model and Quality Teaching Rounds, presentations of the latest research on Quality Teaching Rounds by our colleagues at the University of Newcastle, and several hands-on, practical workshops delivered by our QTR Advisers. Excitingly, the conference will also host an exclusive full-day masterclass on Embedding Formative Assessment by Dylan Wiliam on Wednesday 31 May. Please ensure you select the “3-Day pass” when checking out to secure your place at this masterclass. Places are limited to just 150 people.
