Empowering Teachers: Success for Learners

There is widespread agreement about the importance of mathematics for individuals and for wider society. The Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education (ACME) believes that all students should receive high quality mathematics teaching from teachers who are themselves professional learners. A world-class education system needs to empower its teachers by nurturing a culture of professional development. All teachers should be entitled to, and have responsibility for, continuing to update their skills and subject expertise throughout their career.

In this report, ACME consider the challenges of realising its vision for professional development and makes seven recommendations identifying key changes that need to place at national, institutional and individual levels.
