About

In my second year of teaching, working at a comprehensive public high school in Sydney, Australia. I've worked in software development for the last twenty years in many roles, starting out as a programmer, becoming a software development manager, with forays into quality assurance, business analysis and sales and marketing. Somehow all these skills came together into a teaching career.

For my post-graduate Master of Teaching honours thesis I conducted an investigation on the use of one-to-one laptops in mathematics classrooms at five secondary schools. The research is about to be published in the Mathematics Education Research Journal (MERJ).

Topics I'm interested in:

• Teaching and learning mathematics - for students and teachers.
• Cross-curricular learning - with particular focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
• Working Mathematically.
• Student motivation and engagement.
• Alternate approaches to assessment. Currently exploring Standards Based Grading.
• Use of technology for learning (ICT in mathematics educations).
• Student Voice.
• Mathematical ability - is it real or imagined?
• Ability streaming in secondary mathematics education (graded/streamed classes)

Aiming for a low Signal-to-Noise Ratio: My earnest goal - despite the "rant" part of exzuberant - is to keep the amount of interesting/useful information in this blog at a reasonable level. You won't be reading what I'm eating, or what my cats are doing here.
