  3. Conference Information Dr Jeremy Hodgen Jeremy teaches at Kings College London. His work on assessment for learning includes Mathematics Inside the Black Box, He is currently directing Increasing Confidence and Competence in Algebra and Multiplicative Structures (ICCAMS), a large project investigating how teachers can best implement formative assessment strategies in maths at Key Stage 3. There are many research studies pointing to the value of formative assessment and feedback, but at the same time there is a great deal of evidence highlighting the difficulty of actually implementing this in real mathematics classrooms. Jeremy's talk will address this problem drawing on research from the UK and around the world. LA Initiatives As in previous years 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.
