What are our graduates saying?
I am a Mathematics Lead teacher in my school and am focused on supporting this new way of teaching Mathematics through the DMIC approach. This new learning has enabled me to practice teaching Mathematics to 21st-century learners who need Mathematics-related skills like high-order thinking, problem-solving, and process and reasoning orientation based on real-life learning situations.
I am now continually applying my new knowledge into practice to engage diverse learners and teachers in teaching and learning Mathematics.
It also opened the door to dream job opportunities in which I have applied the skills and knowledge I learnt through my masters as well as continuing to learn and grow in my career!
