Data Literacy Skills A Pathway to Bring Quantitative Reasoning and Real-World Topics Into the Classroom (3-12)
Data Literacy skills such as analyzing, visualizing, and interpreting data have become gateway skills to full participation in the workforce and
civic engagement in the 21st century. In this session, participants will learn about ways to drive engagement and inquiry into their classrooms by
bringing in real data around a variety of curriculum topics. Participants will get a chance to explore activities, projects, and education
technology tools that exemplify this approach and how it can help them align their instruction to the Common Core Standards. Participants will
get an opportunity to create their own activities and investigations that they can implement with their students. They will leave with additional
tools and resources, including an activities framework and various other support materials that they can leverage to bring meaningful, eyeopening learning experiences for their students.
