Community leaders

Essentials of an effective online community

This community comprises educators who wish to advance the teaching of applications and modelling through professional conversations and providing resources helpful in building the knowledge, understanding and practice of the teaching mathematics in this area.

Community Leaders contribute by leading activities in the community program. The Math in Action community hub is the Forum. Community Leaders can initiate a topic for discussion, provide a resource for review or illustrate examples of best practice. The community members will respond and determine the nature of the activity that is relevant and valuable to them. An effective online community has a diversity of member expertise, experience and perspectives.

So a Community Leader can be anyone who wishes to initiate, support or celebrate achievements or pathways to advance the teaching of mathematics.

Interested in being a Community Leader but would like further information about what you can offer? Contact the team at Connect with Maths Your community needs you :-)
