Ensuring Success in Maths and Science: Curriculum and Teaching Strategies for At-Risk Learners

Ensuring Success in Maths and Science: Curriculum and Teaching Strategies for At-Risk Learners explores why students fall behind in maths and science as they progress through the higher year levels and identifies the complex issues that contribute to maths and science failure. The author offers long- and short-range strategies for closing the performance gap, including:

• How to redevelop curriculum
• How to conceptualise, organise and design effective maths and science curricula
• How to implement maths and science curriculum in the classroom to reach all learners

Maths and science skills are increasingly critical in the digital age, and children at risk for failure in maths and science are especially vulnerable. Teachers, administrators and teacher trainers can all benefit from the research, analysis and strategies in this book.
