AIBL supports math instructors in their use of the 4th pillar of IBL, a focus on equity. The Step 1 Playlist is a starting point to learn about race in America. Learn, share, discussion and take action. We added the first few videos on this page. Click HERE to go to the full playlist.

Statement on Equity and Black Lives Matter: AIBL is an organization that works toward equity, inclusion, and dismantling systemic racism in education. AIBL strives to dismantle systemic racism via modernizing teaching via the 4 pillars of IBL. AIBL believes fundamentally in equity, inclusion, and promoting women and people of color in the Mathematical Sciences. We believe black lives matter, and we commit to specifically support the black community in Mathematics. While we acknowledge that some modern day teaching methods are rooted in the teaching methods of R.L. Moore, AIBL explicitly states that the Moore Method is not IBL. We explicitly make this distinction due to Moore’s well-documented racism.
