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.
