This chapter stems from an invited presentation at ICME-11 in Topic
Study Group 28 focusing on the in-service education, professional life, and
development of mathematics teachers. I was to set the scene historically and
offer my own perspective, from an international point of view, on where
we currently are in this field. I welcomed the invitation as it gave me the
chance to reflect on my own years of work in this field and share my reflections
with others. What I present here is a personal account.1 I have tried
to be as comprehensive as possible where major events are concerned but
cannot guarantee that I have not missed something. I am also strongly
aware that my account comes from an English-speaking environment and
that language denies me access to events and publications in which the language
is not English. However, the rest of this book includes chapters from
diverse settings that reflect research activities in a wide range of nations.
