MERGED WITH AN ONLINE WORKSHOP DUE TO COVID-19 :
On March 28 2020, the New England IBL in Mathematics Community (NE-IBLM) (web site at https://www.ne-iblm.org/) will meet for an
NE-IBLM workshop **ONLINE** using a **video collaboration platform** !
Special thanks to the colleagues at Worcester State for planning on hosting NE-IBLM!!
Two important goals of the consortium are broadening the use of IBL in the New England area and creating a regional community of IBL practitioners. We will focus on these two goals in particular at this event.
We welcome participants of any background using IBLM as a pedagogical approach. We will continue our discussion about the role of IBL in inclusive learning, an important connection that is ripe for further exploration and research.
The workshop will take place at Worcester State University, on March 28th from 9 AM - 4 PM. We put together a program to actively involve and engage all participants.
