Opportunities

This webinar is for all the science fair teachers, research teachers, and to those who give their students the freedom to plan and design their original experiments. This session will present tips to help students get the most out of their data and do better science. DataClassroom Co-founder Dr. Aaron Reedy will cover how to teach students to collect Tidy Data, how to use stats to put confidence to conclusions and how to make intentional graphs.

Have you found an interesting dataset but don't know how to analyze it? In this webinar Dr. Nigel Standish will walk through formatting, visualizing, and analyzing a new to you dataset.

Description: This conference aims to provide educators with innovative strategies to make mathematics engaging and relevant for all students. Attendees can participate in workshops, presentations, and networking opportunities designed to enhance teaching practices. The event will feature a variety of sessions, including 75-minute workshops, 60-minute presentations, and 30-minute bursts, all focused on empowering students through mathematics.

The theme of the inaugural Data Science Education K-12: Research to Practice Conference is Addressing the Human Dimensions of Data. Stories told with data are neither neutral nor objective. Every piece of data is processed in some way by humans, and every story told with data is written by and for humans. The practices involved in the creation, manipulation, interpretation, and communication of data are shaped by personal, cultural and political beliefs, and mediated by experiences, tools, and practices. Working with data means learning not to accept information at face value but to interrogate data’s origins and implications and the intent and validity of claims made with data. The act of teaching about data, data science, or AI is also a human endeavor and always will be. As a community, we are discovering things that work and those that don’t. Therefore, data science education should not merely be about numbers and algorithms, but also where they come from, grounded in a humanistic stance towards data.

The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators' annual conference focuses on mathematics teacher education, offering sessions on research, best practices, and innovative teaching strategies.
