2nd CensusAtSchool International Workshop
July 28-29 at UCLA. A workshop for teachers, public servants, statistics education researchers and all those interested in learning about the project. The International CensusAtSchool project encourages the use of real data, from and about school children, and promotes the teaching and learning of statistical thinking skills in the classroom. This gives children increased understanding of data, wherever it originates, and encourages them to develop a healthy scepticism towards statistics that are constantly presented to them by the media and the society they live in.
