The U.S. often looks to New Zealand for resources and research related to teaching and learning statistics. In this talk, Hollylynne will discuss two recent projects situated in the U.S. that are advancing the teaching and learning of statistics and data science for secondary schools.
These projects have designed curricula and online professional learning experiences for teachers at all stages of their career, from undergraduate education through life-long learning as a practicing teacher.
We collaborate with a team at CODAP to integrate advanced data experiences into classrooms.
