  3. Conference Information John Mason has an international reputation for his work. His principal focus is thinking about mathematical problems, and supporting others who wish to foster and sustain their own thinking and that of others. Other interests include the ways of working on and with mental imagery in teaching maths. John is at present exploring how to foster and sustain effective CPD which is particularly relevant to our roles within our LAs. The emphasis will be on activities that engage teachers and pupils in learning mathematics. LA Initiatives As last year we would like to suggest that each LA prepares a handout (minimum-one side A4) which outlines any new initiatives, gives details of publications, websites, resources, projects, working groups etc. These should be emailed to Anne Hyne a.e.hyne@dorsetcc.gov.uk by the 9th September 2007 for inclusion in the conference pack.
