In 2021 The Learner First was contracted by the MoE to run a mathematics PLD initiative called Just-in-Time Maths. This initiative supported schools with immediate and intentional approaches for a rich and balanced program using existing resources. The initiative included working directly with teachers from several schools across Aotearoa New Zealand and indirectly through a collection of 10 ‘vignettes’ and a series of 6 national Zoom hui. Recordings and PDFs of the vignettes and hui are below.
