2023 NE-COMMIT
Fall Conference
Westfield State University
Saturday, October 21, 2023
NE-COMMIT is pleased to announce our annual conference on Saturday, October 21. This year's theme is "Making Equity Practical in the Inquiry Mathematics Classroom". Please see below for information on the registration and proposal submission.
Two important goals of the NE-COMMIT are broadening the use of inquiry in mathematics in the New England area and creating a regional community of practitioners. We will focus on these two goals in particular at this event.
We welcome participants of any background using inquiry-based mathematics education as a pedagogical approach. We will continue our discussion about the role of inquiry in inclusive learning, an important connection that is ripe for further exploration and research.
The workshop will take place at Westfield State University on October 21 from 9:30 AM - 5 PM. We put together a program to actively involve and engage all participants.
