Teach Data Better: Unpack Analyze & Interpret

Description:

There is an explosion of data and data visualizations available online to address data skills currently in math and revised science standards. So, why do many students still struggle with data? Join us to unpack “Analyzing & Interpreting Data”. We will leverage perception sciences to our advantage, as well as adapt existing curriculum and data visualizations to better build data skills. Developing data literacy is a marathon not a sprint; let’s make sure we have running shoes, not track spikes.
