Abstract: 

Are you increasing your emphasis on probability and statistics with students? Are more of your students studying statistics or probability during secondary school? Are your students improving in their performance in data and chance? If you answered yes to any of these three questions, you are not alone, according to the most recent National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The NAEP is administered approximately every four years to students attending a representative sample of schools across the United States.
