Assessment and Accreditation
The AAMT awards the credential Highly Accomplished Teacher of Mathematics (HAToM) to those teachers who successfully undergo assessment of their knowledge, capabilities and achievements against the AAMT Standards. The underpinning research on which the process is based is the AAMT Teaching Standards Assessment Exploration Project (TSAEP). To access the reports of this project please click here.
The credential
The credential Highly Accomplished Teacher of Mathematics (HAToM) will be awarded by the AAMT to those teachers in the TSAEP who satisfy the requirements set by the AAMT Standards.
The HAToM credential will be an acknowledgment and recognition from the profession of a teacher’s high levels of knowledge, capabilities and achievements. There are currently no agreements with employers or other bodies (e.g. institutes of teaching and similar bodies in the states and territories) that recognise the HAToM credential in the context of other frameworks.
Teachers of mathematics are invited to apply to be assessed against the AAMT Standards. Click the link for more information
Becoming an Assessor
The AAMT will from time to time recruit Assessors for the HAToM credentialling process. Assessors do not have to be HAToMs themselves. Practising teachers can apply to be trained as an Assessor. This normally takes two days. Those who are successful will join the 'pool' of Assessors available to assess their peers. Click here for more information.
