Use the WHAT, SO WHAT, NOW WHAT sheet to audit and form an action plan to share with your school
• WHAT: write down aspects of mathematics that are new to you using the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics
• SO WHAT: decide how these aspects have implications on your teaching; what do I need to investigate further, professional learning or seeking help from others
• NOW WHAT: Decide on the actions you may take next to meet your needs; prioritise your actions
