Abstract
The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences Schools Enrichment Centre (AIMSSEC) has developed well-trialled teacher workshops for groups of teachers to use independently in their local areas, complementing AIMSSEC’s professional development courses for primary and secondary teachers, subject advisers, and field trainers. Workshops are freely available with a linked App, and target active learning with meaning-making, particularly in contexts which are low-resource and large-class. They are designed to further develop teachers’ mathematics and mathematics pedagogy knowledge and feed directly into related lesson approaches, supporting improved rates of transition into mathematics and science careers for a range of learners. I draw on participant teacher interviews and written accounts to report on evidence of the use and impact of these workshops and related app in South Africa and beyond, their affordances and constraints, and ask whether this might provide a widely applicable and sustainable model for mathematics teacher development.
