[CAUSE] Teaching Statistics through Data Investigations

I wanted to let my CAUSEweb colleagues know about the upcoming Fall offering of my Teaching Statistics through Data Investigations MOOC for Educators. Many college level faculty and TAs teaching intro level statistics content have found the course beneficial to inspire new teaching strategies, tools, and frameworks---all aligned with the GAISE K-12 and College frameworks! It’s a completely free professional learning opportunity designed primarily for educators who teach statistics in middle school through early college, but is relevant for those who teach disciplines that use data-based explorations extensively to make claims and inferences (e.g., Social sciences, science). This course allows participants to learn, along with colleagues from around the world, to use an investigation cycle to teach statistics and to help students explore data to make evidence-based claims. The 5-unit course will be open Sept 26th- December 19th for flexibility in engagement! Participants can earn certificate of completions and have an opportunity to also pursue micro-credentials and badges to assess and "certify" their understandings of key tools for teaching statistics. Please share with colleagues and teachers in local middle and high schools! See http://friday.institute/tsdi:cause_hl and feel free to ask me questions about the course!!
