From the President’s Pen

Cynthia Ballheim

In the previous issue of delta-K, I brought forward the idea that we are all mathematics leaders and concentrated on John C. Maxwell’s (1998) law of reproduction, from his book The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. As I talk with teachers in Alberta, especially those on the Mathematics Council of the Alberta Teachers’ Association (MCATA) executive and the U.S.-based National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) regional conference planning committee, I continue to be struck by their dedication, commitment, work ethic and boundless energy. Again I refer to Maxwell’s work, specifically to the law of magnetism and the law of the Big Mo.
