Organizer: Juana Sanchez, Dept of Statistics, UCLA Statistically literate children today will be responsible, knowledgeable citizens in the future. CensusAtSchool is a project that gathers data about K-12 children using an online survey and returns the data and curricular materials that use that data to the teacher of those children for use in the classroom. It is a voluntary project that makes the data handling and chance part of the curriculum fun and engaging while educating on the importance of evidence based decisions across the curriculum. The project makes students appreciate the importance of socio-economic data and the importance of being responsible survey respondents. This workshop discusses the state of statistical literacy in the US and other countries in the world and illustrates how to use the activities of the C@S project to implement Curriculum Content Statndards in Statistics, Data Analysis and Probability in practice and across the curriculum. The workshop will be of interest to teachers, university professors teaching the first course in Statistics, official statisticians, economists, sociologists, and parents and education advocates. We present below the presentations and some photos to share with those of you who were not able to attend.
