Intermediate Unit 1 (IU1) seeks to bring together student leaders from the IU1 Region to discuss leadership topics, school-related issues, post-secondary planning, and service learning. The Student Forum provided students with a collaborative learning environment for issues, ideas, opportunities, questions, and concerns of the students in their individual districts.
Lou Karas, WLU's Director of Arts & Education, was invited to run a session on Data Literacy for the Student Forum participants. After a brief introduction about data, the students participated in a Data Selfie activity. After completing their data selfies, the students did some data analysis by sharing their information with the other students at their tables. For the culminating activity, the students were asked to share their ideas for what questions should be included in a data selfie activity for their peers.
