Abstract:
|
Statisticians need to play a significant role in writing state standards for K through 12 mathematics and statistics because school curriculum decisions are determined by state standards. How can we have a say? Christine Franklin, leader of ASA's GAISE guidelines for K-12 education in statistics, will describe her experience in helping Georgia become a model state in this regard. Katherine Halvorsen, a member of the College Board Standards writing team, will describe the process of creating the Mathematics and Statistics College Board Standards. Two former NCTM presidents who are committed to statistics education, Cathy Seeley and Gail Burrill, will discuss the past, present, and future of statistics in the NCTM Standards and Curriculum Focal Points, ASA's part in their development, their influence at the state level and how statisticians can get involved in that process.
