[CAUSE] Invitation to join a new faculty learning community of statistics educators.

Dear Colleagues, We (Jonathan, Marian, and Melissa) are writing with an invitation to join a new faculty learning community of statistics educators. This invitation is open to anyone who is interested in creating sharable educational resources for statistics and data science classes. A faculty learning community (FLC) brings together a group of educators through regularly scheduled meetings in order to both build community and produce a deliverable outcome from each member by the end of the scheduled meetings. Our aim with this FLC is to support and guide educators who are interested in engaging with the scholarship of statistics teaching and learning, and who would like additional support and guidance. By the end of the FLC, we hope to have assisted each member in planning, developing, revising, and submitting a new statistics class activity for publication in one or more peer-evaluated venues. One possible venue is the Posters and Beyond session<https://www.causeweb.org/cause/ecots/ecots24/pnbinfo> in the upcoming 2024 Electronic Conference on Teaching Statistics<https://www.causeweb.org/cause/ecots/ecots24> (eCOTS2024). Our planned timeline is as follows: * First meeting in mid-January * Meet remotely approximately every two weeks for one hour * Final meeting during eCOTS2024 (June 2024) Anyone interested in participating can sign up here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSclDgiyDw4FuumPXTbFtcpQwMM… (link also below). Everyone is welcome, regardless of prior experience. People who have never published an activity or educational resource are particularly encouraged to join. Questions can be directed to any of us: Marian Frazier (mafrazier@wooster.edu<mailto:mafrazier@wooster.edu>) Melissa Crow (mcrow@ncf.edu<mailto:mcrow@ncf.edu>) Jonathan Wells (Wellsjon@grinnell.edu<mailto:Wellsjon@grinnell.edu>) We wish everyone a happy end of semester and relaxing Winter Break. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSclDgiyDw4FuumPXTbFtcpQwMM_SJxuTuH…
