Abstract:	This paper reports on ASA-endorsed guidelines for instruction in statistics education at the PreK-12 level, The guidelines were developed by a group of leading statistics and mathematics educators. The foundation for the PreK-12 framework rests on the NCTM Standards. The guideline is intended to provide clarity to the NCTM statistics strand and provide guidance on the content that should be taught in the elementary, middle, and high-school grades. It focuses on a connected curriculum that allows high-school graduates to have a working knowledge and appreciation for the basic ideas of statistics. The framework provides detailed, connected examples that will help teachers gain a better understanding of the statistical tools and concepts students need at the appropriate level of their PreK-12 school career.
