With earmarked funding devolved to teachers to cover costs of membership of Subject Associations now well established, we are pleased that we have been able to reduce our subscription fee to £35 for personal membership. Mathematics subject associations agreed last year to discount membership fees for those who have multiple memberships of their associations. A fee of £50 for personal membership of both ATM and MA falls well within the £100 devolved to each teacher for subject association membership.
As ATM finances have increased, it has been possible to fund a much wider range of training and professional development activity. Further funding to support this work has been accessed by bids to central government for major curriculum and training initiatives. As a result, ATM has been able to send members on visits to work alongside colleagues in other parts of the developed world and to provide support for initiatives to promote the development of mathematics education in the developing world. Recently, colleagues have returned with up-beat reports of their work in Zimbabwe and the Sudan.
In addition to these international projects, ATM has, as part of its professional development programme, enabled members to take time out of their classrooms to work on projects furthering the development mathematics education in the UK. These releases have been for periods of time from six weeks to two terms. Many members who have availed themselves of these opportunities have, by so-doing, gained credits toward higher degree qualifications.
