• Matt is a very experienced economics teacher who has taken the time to examine the new syllabus in minute detail to explain what's changed and how best to approach teaching it. He has developed interactive AI tools to provide a resource to teachers of effective teaching strategies to cover syllabus dot points. Would highly recommend.

• The best aspect of this course was how effectively it supported planning for the new NSW Economics syllabus. As a busy Economics teacher, the course broke down the new content and outcomes into clear, manageable sections and provided practical guidance on programming, assessment design and lesson sequencing. The teaching strategies made it much easier to transition to the new syllabus with confidence. It saved a significant amount of preparation time and ensured that teaching programs and classroom materials were aligned to the new requirements from the outset.

• Insightful analysis of the changes to the syllabus that will streamline teacher preparation for the course.

• Today’s professional development session was one of the most valuable experiences I’ve had in a long time. As teachers, our schedules are so busy that we rarely have the time or headspace to deeply engage with and unpack a new syllabus, let alone compare it meaningfully with the previous one.
  Matthew’s step-by-step unpacking of the new Economics syllabus was incredibly beneficial. His clear, line-by-line approach provided exactly the clarity and direction I needed, giving me a strong starting point for planning and developing the resources required to effectively implement the new syllabus next year.
  In addition, the opportunity to connect with other passionate and knowledgeable Economics teachers was extremely valuable. Building these connections will be instrumental for future collaboration, sharing ideas, and co-planning, which will ultimately enhance both our teaching practice and student outcomes.

• Good overview of new syllabus, what's new and what's gone.
