From cooperation to coordination - The school's statistics coordinator

This paper is based on a project which ran during 1988 and 1989 at the Center for Statistical Education, University of Sheffield. The purpose of the project was to produce materials both to train schools' statistics coordinators and for the coordinators themselves to use in school, for their work with pupils and other teachers. These materials are now available from the Center in loose-leaf folder (Holmes and Rouncefield, 1989). In this paper, I shall attempt to explain the rationale behind the project and to describe some of the project materials.
