#101 Dr Kathy O’Sullivan: Why numeracy is a life skill everyone needs beyond the maths classroom
<p>Numeracy may be a cross-curriculum priority in youreducation system — but what does that actually mean for teachers who don’t teach maths? Dr Kathy O’Sullivan from the University of Galway in Ireland argues that when schools expect every teacher to support numeracy, most teachers are effectively teaching it out of field. In this conversation, she explains why numeracy is often misunderstood as ‘basic maths’, why tick-box approaches fail, and how teachers can start recognising numeracy opportunities within their own subjects. This ep also explores what systems can do better — from sustained professional learning to stronger preparation in initial teacher education.</p><p><strong>Links:</strong></p><p><strong>Dr Kathy O’Sullivan</strong></p><p>· <a href="https://research.universityofgalway.ie/en/persons/kathy-osullivan/">https://research.universityofgalway.ie/en/persons/kathy-osullivan/</a></p><p>· ORCID profile: <a href="https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8078-3206">https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8078-3206</a></p><p><strong>Numeracy research and frameworks</strong></p><p>- The "N" Framework: A Teacher KnowledgeFramework for Numeracy across the Curriculum <a href="https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/numeracy/vol18/iss2/art2/">https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/numeracy/vol18/iss2/art2/</a>- Numeracy in the 21st Century – model by MerrilynGoos and colleagues https://www.researchgate.net/figure/A-model-for-numeracy-in-the-21-st-century-Goos-Geiger-Dole-2014_fig1_317731661 </p><p>- Numeracy across the Curriculum book byAustralian Teacher Educators <a href="https://www.routledge.com/Numeracy-Across-the-Curriculum-Research-based-strategies-for-enhancing-teaching-and-learning/Goos-Geiger-Dole-Forgasz-Bennison/p/book/9781760297886">https://www.routledge.com/Numeracy-Across-the-Curriculum-Research-based-strategies-for-enhancing-teaching-and-learning/Goos-Geiger-Dole-Forgasz-Bennison/p/book/9781760297886</a></p><p><strong>Numeracy resources and teaching tools</strong></p><p>· Gapminder data visualisation tools <a href="https://www.gapminder.org/">https://www.gapminder.org</a></p><p>· Nrich maths tasks <a href="https://nrich.maths.org/">https://nrich.maths.org</a></p><p>· Peter Liljedahl numeracy-rich tasks / thinking classrooms resources <a href="https://buildingthinkingclassrooms.com/">https://buildingthinkingclassrooms.com</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Australian numeracy examples</strong></p><p>· Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership <a href="https://www.academy.vic.gov.au/">https://www.academy.vic.gov.au</a></p><p>· Australian Department of Education numeracy resources (examples of numeracy across curriculum materials)</p><p>https://www.education.gov.au/australian-curriculum/support-literacy-and-numeracy </p><p></p>

#100: What I wish I knew before I started teaching out of field
<p>Out-of-field teaching is rarely one neat experience. One lesson, one junior class, one senior subject, one term or five years all place different demands on teachers. This 100th episode draws on teacher interviews, podcast conversations, PhD thinking and recent research to explore what may help when teachers are assigned to subjects they were never trained to teach — from finding the big ideas and learning the pedagogy, to borrowing strategically, using honestycarefully, and protecting professional identity when the assignment becomes more than a short-term fix.</p><p>For the links, please go to my Substack article of the same name. There's TOO many reference links to post in this Spotify field, alas.</p><p></p>
