Good to know

We don't expect a Maths Active Teacher to be "highly evident" in every domain. Think of it as an audit of your current practice, with a plan to keep developing your skills over the years. We're here to help you with that.

What happens after I apply?

A team of MAV education consultants reviews every application, makes suggestions where needed, then recommends to the MAV Board whether to accept it.

Once you're accredited, we'll let you know and, where possible, a member of the MAV team will come and present your accreditation.

You will receive
  • A Maths Active Teacher certificate for your education portfolio
  • A digital email banner showing the year you're a Maths Active Teacher, updated each year you renew your membership

  • Increased support and awareness of mathematics professional learning, activities and resources

  • Add your Maths Active Teacher accreditation to your CV
