It influences thei r capacity to enact instructional leadership by guiding teachers and provi ding them with feedback on their teaching performance. A principal with st rong mathematics LCK can support teachers to emphasise such things as math ematical reasoning and problem-solving and provide advice on how understan ding of important mathematical ideas can be developed. Principals’ LCK a lso influences their decisions about hiring and resource allocation. In th is this presentation I consider the nature of school principals’ LCK for mathematics\, and how it relates to their LCK for other STEM subjects.\n\ nKim Beswick is a Professor of Mathematics Education at the University of New South Wales\, Sydney\, Australia where she is also Head of the School of Education and Director of the Gonski Institute for Education. Her resea rch interests centre on the beliefs\, knowledge\, and professional develop ment of teachers\, including teachers of mathematics. She is particularly interested in how teachers’ beliefs and knowledge relate to their expect ations of and aspirations for their students. She has published more than 110 peer-reviewed outputs\, attracted over $16M in competitive research fu nding including an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowship\, 2 015-2019\, and been a member of the ARC College of Experts. \nKim was a se condary school mathematics teacher for 13 years prior to joining the acade my and served as the President of the Australian Association of Mathematic s Teachers\, 2012-2014. She has been a life member of that organisation si nce 2017.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/ITB-MDLS/14/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
