Fellowship Program for High School and Two-year College Teachers:
This two-year fellowship program is designed for individuals who want to make an impact beyond their classroom setting and to increase their network among statistics and data science educators. During their two-year term, the fellows participate in the section's executive committee meetings, receive career mentorship from a section member, and lead a discussion about their teaching experiences at a statistics conference. New high school teacher fellows are selected in the even years and new college teacher fellows in the odd years. The fellowship runs on the academic calendar and so starts in August. This spring we will be advertising for the high school fellowship.

2019: We are now the Section on Statistics and Data Science Education (SSDSE)
The Section on Statistical Education voted on updates to the section charter and name. The proposed changes have been approved, as of 2019! Our section is now named "Section on Statistics and Data Science Education." See our updated charter.
Members of the Charter Committee, Erin Blankenship, Bill Notz, and Cassandra Pattanayak, developed a proposed revision to the Section charter (earlier, October draft) that was worked on by all section members in the spring and reviewed in the fall. They also ran a webinar before the vote to discuss the proposed changes, answer any questions, and provide a forum for discussion. Watch the recorded webinar from March 5, 2019: Discussion on Potential Updates to Section Charter and Name. You may also find this preliminary working definition of Data Science document useful. |
