Abstract
In response to issues of developing effective teachers of mathematics, this paper investigates the factors, which have contributed to growth related to mathematics teaching and learning for a group of Melbourne primary school teachers. The teachers were surveyed to determine the people or events that had contributed to their development. Major themes identified in the data were the importance of lifelong learning, relationships and reflection upon their classroom experiences. The themes are analysed in order to make recommendations for appropriate professional development for the teachers.
