Data literacy is a key 21st century skill for nearly every occupation and daily life. It helps us better engage in the world around us and make informed decisions.
It is not just for mathematicians or technical specialists.
So what needs to change?
Data-centric careers are growing by 35% annually but over 60% of companies struggle to find data literate talent.
Students who are data literate must be able to read, analyze, and communicate with data, but the reality is most middle and high schools don’t teach students these valuable skills. We need educational opportunities for every student to reflect the needs of the modern economy.
We all play a role in achieving this:
Schools & Districts | Policymakers | Organizations & Industry | Teachers | Individuals
Our work is centered around 4 pillars:
Raising Awareness
Community Building
Resources & Support
Policy Advocacy
Since launching in 2019, our coalition has created a lot of buzz
More than 270 Commitments impacting 3+ million students
2+ million downloads of our Freakonomics podcast
Profiles in EdSurge and the Wall Street Journal
20 states rolling out data science learning
