Abstract:
|
Graduate programs in statistics do a commendable job of preparing PhD students to practice the discipline of statistics in industry, government, and academia. Unfortunately, most PhD programs do not adequately prepare a student to become a teacher of statistics at the university level. Students graduate without a working knowledge of best practices in statistics teaching and resources that are available for teaching statistics (particularly at the undergraduate level). This roundtable will be a brainstorming session for developing a set of best practices in mentoring graduate students who plan to teach and in mentoring new teachers of statistics at the university-level. The intended audience includes experienced teachers who have an interest in the preparation of graduate students who will become the next generation of statistics teachers.
