Section on Statistical Education

Strategic Objectives

Improve formal working relationship with ASA in general; specific examples might include:
- CSE Website, as an example of disseminating information
- Visiting lecture program, as an example of improving the pipeline
Find/provide funding, in collaboration with other groups, for statistics education initiatives including seeking external sponsors
Work to increase the recognition of the value of statistics education work at academic institutions
Increase involvement of members in the development of state standards and curricula
Increase professional development opportunities for section members; increase outreach to, and professional development for, 2-year college instructors and non-statistician statistics teachers; an added benefit is that this likely will lead to increasing membership in the section, especially from non- and under-represented groups such as high school teachers, 2-year college teachers and graduate students.
Improve dissemination of teaching related resources, research findings and professional development and funding opportunities.
Facilitate a wide range of opportunities for people to participate in statistics education activities, including those whose primary responsibility is outside statistics education and those who can afford only a minor time commitment.
