📖Program Curriculum
Project details A project in this area will aim to improve our knowledge about effective design of professional development for school teachers of mathematics.
Secondary teachers have highly demanding jobs, and fitting in opportunities for professional development is a challenge. It is essential to maximise the potential of professional development experiences and devise ways in which teachers can benefit as much as possible from these. One-size-fits-all standalone days of professional development training can be expensive, disruptive to schools, and are unlikely to meet teachers’ individual specific needs, and a more tailored programme, which teachers can adapt to their requirements, seems preferable.
This project would draw on insights from the mathematics teacher education literature, as well as findings from educational design, to develop knowledge about how to improve the design of professional development for teachers of mathematics.
