Dear Colleagues,
Our next K-12 Teacher Chat is Wednesday, April 12 at 4:30pm Eastern time. We are fortunate to have Gemma Mojica and her team from the NC State InSTEP project join us describing resources to support your professional learning about teaching statistics and data. The InSTEP team recently launched a free personalized professional learning platform (instepwithdata.org) to support teachers and instructional coaches in developing expertise in teaching statistics and data science in grades 6-12+. The InSTEP team will share key features and resources from this personalized professional learning platform and engage you in a data investigation with real multivariate data using an online data visualization and analysis tool, CODAP. Joining from a laptop or tablet will be best for this session. We look forward to seeing you at the chat.

Additional Announcements:
Also, the latest issue of Statistics Teacher is now available at www.statisticsteacher.org.
We are also pleased to announce the following workshops this summer:
Beyond AP Statistics (BAPS) Workshop
June 4, 2023
Meeting Within a Meeting (MWM) Statistics Workshop for Middle- and High-School Mathematics and Science Teachers
Free Online, July 24–25, 2023; Registration ends June 30, 2023
Additionally, April is Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month, and the ASA GivesBack leadership team would love to host a virtual career panel discussion for your class! Our leaders come from a variety of backgrounds, all with connections to mathematics and/or statistics, and we are interesting in sharing the stories of our career paths with your students. This would be an opportunity for students who might be interested in pursuing mathematics/statistics to ask questions to early career professionals about navigating college, choosing a career, etc. There will also be discussions around the importance for everyone to be statistically literate, regardless of career path.
If you are interested, please fill out the form below with your contact information and your class’ availability, and we will do our best to accommodate your schedule:
