In “more than 60 years as an educator… I’ve learned…from sharing ideas with colleagues, I’ve attended workshops, I’ve attended conferences, I’ve read professional books, but my most important source of honing my teaching skills has been the students I’ve taught.”

"Making practice public is essential to teachers developing their craft together. What it means is that teachers: 1) make their instructional decisions public before, during & after teaching; 2) relentlessly position students as capable & as central participants in teachers’ collective learning; /1

"How I learned the real maths, to make connections and see maths in the very unique way [I do]...developed despite the school maths, not because of it." - Dr Laura Tuohilampi

"I was the motivated student who read science literature in my free time. I didn’t struggle with learning maths the traditional way, but I learned how to obey! I have many sweet memories about how fascinating mathematics is. But how it was taught in schools never made much sense to me. It didn’t help to really develop my understanding – that I learned elsewhere. And more importantly, I came to learn how the way maths was taught made my peers dislike maths, feel helpless and anxious.

How I learned the real maths, to make connections and see maths in the very unique way that later made me the 'where is this used' and 'how am I supposed to enjoy and benefit from this' maths influencer, developed despite the school maths, not because of it."
