Why OTTER?
OTTER and teachers’/principals’ professional development is important if we aim to effectively bring the ecological
crisis to the attention of principals - in a way that generates new starting points for learning content, activities and
structures.

Merrilyn Goos
Professor of Education at the University of the Sunshine Coast
About Merrilyn
Her academic research has investigated students’ mathematical thinking, the impact of digital technologies on
mathematics learning and teaching, numeracy across the curriculum and the lifespan, the professional learning of
mathematics teachers and mathematics teacher educators, curriculum and assessment reform, and gender equity in STEM
education.
Why OTTER?
Schools sometimes separate learning from the world in which children and young people live, and this project aims to
bring learning to life in the real world. This is what I can help OTTER achieve.
