The New England Consortium for Inquiry-Based Learning in Mathematics (NE-IBLM) held our fall conference on October 24, 2020.
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. Feel free to forward to this conference announcement to your friends and colleagues in the New England area.
The conference took place online on October 24, 2020 from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. We put together a program to actively involve and engage all participants.
