Resources for JEDI-Informed Teaching of Statistics
Pedagogy, research, and professional development
Dr. Rochelle Gutierrez (2002) stated "equity is ultimately about the distribution of power - power in the classroom, power in future schooling, power in one's everyday life, and power in a global society." This presentation unpacks ways in which statistics classrooms can put power in students' hands.
Our recent research focuses on integrating Culturally Relevant Data into statistics and data science education. We’ve developed methods that connect coursework directly to students’ lived experiences, significantly enhancing engagement and understanding, particularly for those from historically marginalized groups. Our approach bridges the gap between theoretical data science and real-world application, making learning both accessible and impactful. Initial results from pilot courses are promising, and we are excited about the potential to further transform how data science is taught. Join us in making data science education more inclusive and effective for everyone
