Special Session at the SE Sectional Conference on Saturday, March 13, 2021.
Information: https://maasoutheastern.org/2021-conference/
As vaccination rates improve and we look forward with hope and optimism that teaching next Fall might return to some normalcy, we thought it would be good to reflect on what we've learned over the past year. Dr. Mandy Mangum will be moderating our session as we look back on our experiences in IBL teaching during a pandemic. We'll reflect on what went well and what didn't, and we'll think about what techniques, strategies, and technologies we may carry with us as we look ahead. Participants will be invited to reflect and then to share with the group so that all may learn from one another. Email se.section.ibl@gmail.com for the Zoom link.

Using IBL to Expand Critical Conversations on Social Justice
Inquiry-based Learning is a powerful tool to advance mathematical thinking and learning. In this session, we will explore IBL approaches in the context of teaching and learning mathematics for social justice. In particular, we will examine the use of historical and contemporary data to make sense of advancing IBL and critical conversations in the area of data science and statistics.
Looking ahead to the Fall Semester without COVID (hopefully...) Bring a course that you are prepping and talk through your plans for IBL.
