Educate. Inspire. Shape.
Dr Thorsten Scheiner is a mathematics educator and mathematics education researcher who has worked in universities in Australia, Germany and New Zealand. His expertise is in researching and supporting the learning of mathematics teachers, with a focus on creating transformative learning environments that enable teachers to identify and capitalise on students' mathematical strengths. This not only promotes enriched mathematical learning for all students, but also highlights the central role of strengths-based approaches. Such strategies are essential for promoting inclusive and equitable mathematics education and for fostering positive mathematical identities among students of all diversity backgrounds.

Changing the world, one classroom at a time.
Scheiner's research explores the critical skill of noticing students’ mathematical strengths and the challenges posed by deficit-based thinking in mathematics education. To address this issue, he designs learning environments to foster mathematics teachers' ability to critically reflect on their framing and noticing of students' thinking and reorient their focus towards recognising strengths.
