This edition of A Survey of Current Australian Strategies in Numeracy follows on from the previous edition that surveyed numeracy strategies current in 1999. Officers from each of the State and Territory education departments, as well as their Catholic Education Office counterparts provided the information about the strategies in place during 2001 within their jurisdiction. These strategies, all aimed at improving numeracy teaching and learning In Australian schools, are recorded in this updated edition of A Survey of Current Australian Strategies in Numeracy. The procedure used to prepare this edition was similar to that used to prepare the original. Each of the State and Territory education systems, and their Catholic Education Office counterparts, were faxed a questionnaire seeking information on current numeracy initiatives and strategies. Responses were returned to ACER by fax, and after compilation was complete, draft entries returned to the relevant education authorities for their approval. Like its predecessor, this survey sought information about strategies under the following seven themes: At Risk students; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students; Equity; Gifted and Talented students; Special Assistance provision; Special Initiatives; and System Monitoring. In A Survey of Current Australian Strategies in Numeracy information for each of the themes has been sub-divided into the following six categories: Program name; Starting date; Target level; Operation; Funding; and Comments. A new feature in this edition is the cross-indexed listing of numeracy strategies. The first set of strategies is grouped by State or Territory and the second set grouped by theme. In this way, users may quickly find the information they want from either an educational or geographical perspective.
