Presentation of quantitative literacy materials in a math education course

I believe that school teachers will benefit from being exposed to QL materials as a part of their undergraduate education. It seems likely that statistical concepts will be included at a local level if a teacher has been exposed to usable materials. The course we have developed is far from perfect. It is too early to tell what the impact will be in the schools where these mathematics teachers will work in the future. I believe that the concept of presenting these QL materials as a part of the undergraduate education is sound. I would encourage others to try to employ such a strategy and to share with others their successes and failures so that we can all improve our curriculum.
