Join the Data Revolution: Why Statistics Rocks K-12! Imagine a world that relies on data and statistical thinking to drive, discover, and inform decisions. This is the vision of the American Statistical Association, and, as an a member of the ASA K-12 Statistical Ambassador Team, a vision I work to support. To achieve this vision, acquiring data acumen and becoming statistically literate should be as core to our school-level curriculum as reading and writing. Data can be numbers, counts, and measurements but also images, video, sounds or words, so we need to grapple with the fast-changing nature of data and the tools required for analysis to ensure that our curriculum is relevant for students. How do we obtain the goal of all students graduating with the tools to make sense of data and reason statistically? How do teachers and students develop the habits of mind to engage with data and communicate the story that data tells? Through examples and activities, we will discover that statistics is so much more than understanding the content.
