Super excited to be running a workshop in Geelong this November! Participants will get accessible and practical tips to kickstart their maths learning.

Can anyone recommend a survey tool to gauge teachers' knowledge / attitudes / beliefs on explicit instruction? Carl Hendrick, Paul A. Kirschner, Anna Stokke, Greg Ashman.
