Hello IBL enthusiasts,

We’re excited to continue to working with and learning from our SIGMAA members in 2020.  We wanted to start the year off with a few announcements and highlight some of our events at the upcoming JMM.  

  • AIBL Summer Workshops in Los Angeles and Washington, DC are now open for registration. For more information on the workshops and how to register, please see the AIBL website: http://www.inquirybasedlearning.org/2020-workshop-general-information

  • There will not be a national summer IBL conference this year, so we hope to see you at the IBL SIGMAA business meeting, speaker, and reception event at MathFest in Philadelphia!

  • There are a growing number of regional IBL communities around the country and we want to encourage you to become an active member of yours (or start one!).  There will be two informal gatherings of the IBL communities at JMM. These are listed on the attached JMM events list.

  • Lastly, we look forward to seeing many of you at our various IBL SIGMAA sponsored events at the JMM! Below is a list of IBL SIGMAA and IBL related activities in Denver. 

Happy New Year!

The IBL SIGMAA Executive Board
