Companies: John Carroll University
Address: Dept Mathematics, University Heights, OH, 44118,
Keywords: outreach ; k-12 education ; statistics activities
Abstract:

Outreach to our schools is a natural and important activity for ASA Chapters. There is more and more opportunity and need for statisticians to be a viable resource for teachers and school districts as statistics continues to become an integral part of school curricula. This roundtable will share ideas and best practices, how to get started, how to continue, and where to get funding. Activities to discuss will include science fair judging, data analysis workshops, project and poster competitions, career days, classroom visitations, school projects, adopt-a-school programs and contributing to the Statistics Teacher Network. For those of you who have not been involved but want to, come and learn. For those who have been involved, come and share! Statisticians and teachers together can, and must, make a difference!
