Workshop goals are to help faculty participants to teach introductory statistics effectively in accordance with the American Statistical Association’s GAISE recommendations by:
Immersing participants in hands-on activities for introducing students to statistical concepts, particularly with regard to:
a. Statistical investigation process
b. Multivariable thinking
c. Simulation-based inference
Providing considerable experience with freely available technology tools for exploring statistical concepts and analyzing real data
Discussing assessment items and techniques, along with common student misconceptions
Forming a community of statistics teachers to offer on-going mutual support, sharing of resources and ideas
