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.

For more information about forthcoming meetings or how to get involved, please email the Area Coordinator responsible for a particular network.
If there is currently no network near you and you would be interested in helping to run one in your area, contact your local AMSP Area Coordinator to discuss how to get involved.

Our KS5 Networks cover topics and issues arising from the study of A-Level Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Core Mathematics.
One-hour KS5 Network meetings are held roughly once every half-term and invitations are sent to all teachers who have registered to be part of the Network. Requests for topics for discussion are distributed at the same time; popular topics are always included in the schedule.

'Big ideas in KS5 Maths' arising from these discussions may result in 'spin-off' sessions being held, where a short PD session is held on a particular topic (eg: 'problem-solving', 'kinematics', etc). A wider group of teachers than just the imediate KS5 Network maybe invited to these spin-off sessions.
