Michele Klooger

Currently, Michele is a Teaching Associate within the Faculty of Education at Monash University, where she also facilitates the EMU (Extending Mathematical Understanding) and GRIN (Getting Ready in Numeracy) intervention programs. She is undertaking a PhD exploring using mathematical games to support inquiry-based pedagogy in primary classrooms. Over the past 28 years, Michele has worked across various educational settings from primary to secondary schools. Her experience includes classroom teaching, school leadership, team management, and the development of effective learning communities, with a particular emphasis on numeracy, mathematics skill development, and conceptual understanding. She has supported teachers and graduates to analyse data for lesson design, sequence learning experiences, and meet curriculum demands, all while modelling evidence-informed pedagogical approaches that align with the needs of 21st-century learners. She maintains a strong presence in classrooms and is committed to supporting mathematics leaders, teachers, and preservice educators in exploring contemporary, research-informed approaches to teaching and learning mathematics.
