It Is All About Money

A VALBEC (Victorian Adult Literacy and Basic Educational Council) Professional Learning session presented by Chris Tully.

VALBEC presents another great Professional Learning Session presented by Chris Tully on Numeracy.

This session is a follow on from the Financial Literacy session delivered for Learn Local practitioners through Adult Learning Australia on 25/01/2024.

It will look at delivering money concepts to low level numeracy students. It is designed for both numeracy teachers and literacy teachers who need to deliver numeracy. It is a standalone session so if you didn’t attend the session on 25th Jan, you should still be able to gain something from the session.

Chris Tully has worked in the Adult Education field for 33 years across a range of areas, teaching numeracy. Prior to this, she worked as a Mathematics teacher in the secondary system.

Over the last 12 years she has worked in the Literacy and Numeracy support area, coordinating literacy and numeracy support to a variety of VET programs.

She also has contributed to the Australian Core Skills Framework as an expert commentator. She has been involved in the accreditation and re-accreditation of various curriculum and training packages including the Certificates in General Education for Adults.

We look forward to seeing you there.
