After searching for ways to make professional learning more meaningful, in 2020 Michaela Epstein founded Maths Teacher Circles in Australia. Since then, over 800 primary and secondary teachers and school leaders have come together to share expertise and uncover new maths teaching ideas.
Michaela has taught maths at schools in rural and urban areas, served as President of the Mathematical Association of Victoria and on the Council of the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers. She has also completed Masters research and presented internationally on the intent of the mathematics curriculum.
At heart, Michaela is an avid learner and maths enthusiast. Her aim is to help primary and secondary teachers reignite their own curiosity for mathematics and develop strategies that will enable all students to become confident mathematical thinkers.
