Changing the world, one classroom at a time.
Dr Scheiner's research focuses on the crucial skill of noticing students' mathematical strengths, challenging the deficit-based thinking that dominates mathematics education. Through the design of transformative learning environments, he develops mathematics teachers' ability to critically reflect on how they frame and notice students' thinking, guiding them towards a strengths-based perspective that recognises and capitalises on learners' abilities.
