  • provides access to more face-to-face professional learning opportunities and create a Numeracy Champions Network to promote collaborative approaches to improvement
  • provides a supported platform for Champions to identify an intervention group using a variety of available assessment data, create a rationale, and use high quality teaching approaches and track impact.
