Teacher Network Meetings
The AMSP organises many local teacher networks around the country. The networks focus on sharing good practice, professional development and promoting developments in teaching and learning.
Meetings usually take place once each term after school and the agenda for each meeting is set by the network members. Joining one of these networks can be a great way to get to know other mathematics teachers in your region and share ideas. It also give members the chance to request input on particular curriculum areas or educational developments which can be provided by inviting expert speakers to present at a meeting.
Most of the networks focus on teaching and learning for post-16 mathematics, but an increasing number of networks now offer support for, or specialise in, Key Stage 4 maths.
