| Abstract | Academic numeracy is essential for success in university and the workplace. However, many students struggle to meet expected numeracy throughout their studies thereby impacting their post-study options. Addressing this challenge requires a coordinated approach across individual, course, program, and institutional levels, moving beyond the fragmented and often ineffective efforts currently in place. This workshop introduces an updated version of the Academic Numeracies Framework, a practical tool designed to support the systematic embedding of numeracy into university curricula. Developed specifically for tertiary education, the Framework focuses on teaching and learning and is adaptable across disciplines, making it a valuable resource for institution-wide numeracy development. It aims to inform and empower academics and learning development professionals working to systematically embed numeracy into university curricula and learning support initiatives, ultimately improving numeracy outcomes. A newly-developed interactive version of the Framework will then be presented. This version offers an intuitive interface that guides users through its components and provides context-sensitive guidance, enhancing usability and promoting adoption. Participants will have the opportunity to work with the Framework, for example by mapping the target and assumed numeracy levels of students in typical tertiary coursework. We encourage attendees to bring course materials such as subject learning outcomes or content outlines, although sample materials will also be available. Feedback from the session will inform ongoing refinement of the tool. |
