dc.description.abstract	This paper profiles a community engaged initiative that is in a form of a teacher development programme (TDP) offered by the Institute for Science and Technology Education (ISTE). The programme sought to improve grade 12 mathematics and science teachers’ content knowledge. The ISTE TDP adopts an iterative approach where feedback from participating teachers informed the planning and design of the following year’s edition. ISTE TDP is based on the teachers’ needs; conducted by facilitators who are significantly versed in the teaching and learning conditions in schools; has interactive sessions that are largely participant-centred; and takes place over 5days of 8hours each. The benefit of ISTE TDP is a capacitated community of teachers with more confidence and enthusiasm.	en
