IBL Workshop 2015, July 7-10, San Luis Obispo

One of the best ways to learn how to successfully implement IBL is to attend a weeklong workshop.  The IBL Workshops hosted by AIBL are specifically designed for college math faculty.  These hands-on workshops address the practical obstacles that faculty face in the transition from tradition to IBL teaching.  Participants of the workshop adapt or develop IBL course materials, work collaboratively on IBL specific teaching skills, engage in discussions about IBL video lesson study, learn specific nuts and bolts issues in smoothly running an IBL course, and participate in a yearlong mentoring program.

A handful of spots remain for the NSF funded workshop this July.  If you are thinking about making the transition to IBL teaching, please go to www.iblworkshop.org to learn more.

The 2013 IBL Workshop at Cal Poly

Last week a team of IBL practitioners, and 43 participants met at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo for 4 days at the MAA PREP IBL Workshop.  More information about the workshop is available HERE.  The next workshop will be held at Kenyon College (OH) in June 2014.  Stay tuned for more information!

The 2013 workshop was a blast!  We worked together discussing articles, talking about the nuts and bolts of running an IBL classes, watched and discussed IBL classroom videos, and developed IBL course materials.    Thanks to all who attended and helped out at the workshop!

It is always wonderful to see a group of dedicated math professors, who take a big chunk of their time (and in some instances their own money) to attend a workshop.  They do so because they want to improve their teaching and help their students be more successful in math classes.  Unsung heroes, indeed!
