Who can join?

We invite Victorian maths educators to express their interest in joining our esteemed MAV Community. As we strive to maintain a high standard of excellence, allowing interested maths educators to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) ensures that the community remains vibrant and diverse, fostering valuable networks among like-minded teachers, educators, experts, and MAV members. 

Our community consists of teachers and educators from early childhood, primary and secondary, and VCE and vocational subjects. If you are an educator, maths or numeracy leader, head of faculty, or have an interest in improving maths education, you are one of us!

Whether you are an MAV member or not you are welcome to join us! You must be a Victorian Educator.

In decades of research about professional communities, there has been a key theme: a community's importance for creating a sense of belonging for its members (both to each other and their association). Further, research holds that community members grow their practice through purposeful behaviours and activities over time. Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they regularly interact.

Specifically, MAV's online community platform with the focus on allowing maths educators to connect, share and find resources, access information and expertise from experts and each other, build a sense of belonging, and collaborate and support each other. This will allow MAV to evolve from pushing you information to working with you, tapping into the members of our education community in ways that support your needs much more precisely.

This exciting project was informed by research and information, including a research project with Southern Cross University to survey and collate data from Victorian mathematics educators. The research findings informed us how best to design and implement this online community solution to support you.
