Depictions of conferences as being dull and exhausting make it ‘almost impossible’ to imagine them as places of intellectual engagement, Dr Emily Henderson of CES warns.

4th-5th March 2016

This conference is aimed at all those involved in supporting learning of mathematics. It aims to bring together people working to promote mathematical resilience in learners, whether that be as teachers or those in an educational institution, or parents or others at home.

Earlier this year BERA put out an open call to members to submit proposals for the new BERA Research Commissions, with Jo Trowsdale, Principle Teaching Fellow in CES being involved in one of the three winning proposals.
