Unit Overview
- Description
In this unit, pre-service teachers use diagnostic, screening, and progress monitoring assessment data to inform instructional decisions, provide targeted feedback, and support diverse learners within a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS). They develop understanding of explicit instruction, modelling, scaffolding, and the role of independent problem-solving as students progress towards proficiency. Pre-service teachers engage with evidence-based teaching practices to support students requiring additional support, addressing misconceptions and reducing cognitive overload. They apply this knowledge to plan and sequence coherent, increasingly challenging mathematics lessons that engage learners and support progression towards mastery.

- Outcomes
Students are able to (1) analyse and interpret assessment data in Mathematics and describe how it is used at each of the MTSS tiers (PP-6); (2) identify and apply a targeted, evidence-based support program for a small group of primary children on the basis of assessment data; (3) explain the importance of formative feedback and how it can be applied in the teaching of Mathematics; (4) critically review relevant research literature to justify the support program
; and (5) describe important factors and processes in the evaluation of Mathematics programs (PP-6)..
- Assessment
Indicative assessments in this unit are as follows: (1) analysis and interpretation of assessment data; (2) planning document and rationale; and (3) presentation. Further information is available in the unit outline.
To pass this unit, a student must: (a) achieve an overall mark of 50 per cent or higher for the unit; and (b) achieve the requisite requirements(s) or a mark of 50 per cent or greater, whichever is higher and specified in the unit outline, for the analysis and interpretation of assessment data, planning document and rationale, and presentation components.
Student may be offered supplementary assessment in this unit if they meet the eligibility criteria.

- The availability of units in Semester 1, 2, etc. was correct at the time of publication but may be subject to change.
- All students are responsible for identifying when they need assistance to improve their academic learning, research, English language and numeracy skills; seeking out the services and resources available to help them; and applying what they learn. Students are encouraged to register for free online support through GETSmart; to help themselves to the extensive range of resources on UWA's STUDYSmarter website; and to participate in WRITESmart and (ma+hs)Smart drop-ins and workshops.
- Visit the Essential Textbooks website to see if any textbooks are required for this Unit. The website is updated regularly so content may change. Students are recommended to purchase Essential Textbooks, but a limited number of copies of all Essential Textbooks are held in the Library in print, and as an ebook where possible. Recommended readings for the unit can be accessed in Unit Readings directly through the Learning Management System (LMS).
- Contact hours provide an indication of the type and extent of in-class activities this unit may contain. The total amount of student work (including contact hours, assessment time, and self-study) will approximate 150 hours per 6 credit points.
