As my term as Chair of the Section on Statistical Education comes to a close, I am going to be boring and echo the sentiment expressed by others who preceded me in this job, which is, thank you, thank you, thank you to our many volunteers who devote enormous time and energy to Statistical Education and to our Section activities! I would like to thank Patti Collings for organizing a fantastic array of sessions for the 2007 JSM, Jackie Miller for organizing wonderful round tables for the 2007 JSM and for ongoing work organizing our program for the 2008 JSM, Deb Rumsey for reinvigorating our Stat Ed booth at JSM (see below), Jackie Dietz for her work on the newsletter, web page and mailing list, Joan Garfield for her tremendous work on the newsletter, Ron Wasserstein for organizing the contributed paper award, the entire Executive Committee for doing their jobs so well, and perhaps most important of all to me, 2007 Past Chair Chris Franklin, who passed on her wisdom, advice and support throughout the year.
There is so much going on in Statistical Education and many of you already are engaged in activities at the local, national and even international level. For those of you who would like to be more involved in our Section, here are some ways you can contribute:
Nominate someone for the Waller Education Award
Thanks to a generous donation from former ASA Executive Director Ray Waller and his wife Carolyn, the Waller Education Award provides recognition to an individual who has been teaching full-time for ten or fewer years, and who has demonstrated innovation in the instruction of elementary statistics. Think about nominating a deserving statistics education innovator! Nominations for the 2008 Award are due by April 1, 2008. Details about the nomination process are on our Section website (http://www.amstat.org/sections/educ/waller2008.html).
Volunteer to help at the Statistical Education Booth at JSM
The Stat Ed booth has returned! Thanks to Deb Rumsey (at-large member of the Executive Committee) we had a very successful and visible booth in a prominent location at the Salt Lake City Convention Center for the 2007 JSM. The booth wouldn’t have been so successful without the volunteers who staffed it. With profound apologies for anyone I may have omitted, the volunteers were: John McKenzie, Dean Nelson, Bill Harkness, Amy Froelich, Bob Stephenson, Jackie Dietz, Carolyn Cuff, Deb Rumsey, David Loewen, Rob Gould, Jo Hardin, Neal Rogness, Roxy Peck, Kim Robinson, Sue Schou, Terry King, David Kriska, Mark Fulcomer, Jerry Morena, Dex Whittinghill, Brian Smith, Tom Short, Sandra Clarkson, Brian Jersky and Chris Franklin. If you are interested in volunteering to spend a few hours at the booth next year at the Denver JSM, let me know and I’ll make sure you get invited to do so.
Participate in Section Activities
If you are interested in getting more involved in Section activities, let a member of the Executive Committee know. I’m sure we can find a way to put you to work! If you have a suggestion for an activity you would like the Section to explore, let us know that as well.
Attend the Section Business Meeting at JSM
The Business Meeting is fun, free, and has food! Typically it takes place on Wednesday in the early evening at JSM, but watch the schedule for details each year. It’s a chance to meet old and new friends and colleagues, hear about Section activities and provide your ideas.
Thanks again to everyone who contributes to the success of the Section and to Statistical Education, including every single Section member.

We had a great JSM in Salt Lake City this summer. Many presenters provided information on how to improve statistical education in the classroom. Of special interest was the panel discussion on research in education. You may want to go to the web site http://www.amstat.org/research_grants/pdfs/SMERreport.pdf and read the report that was discussed. Brad Hartlaub conducted a panel of Allan Rossman, Jeff Witmer, Jessica Utts and George Cobb on the 20/20 of statistical education. Hopefully, a transcript of this panel discussion will be posted on JSE.
Many benefited from the discussion on implementing GAISE in the classroom. The panelists Caroline Cuff, Jackie Dietz, Gary Kader, Dex Whittinghill and Caroline Dobler gave practical insights into how to do this. Attendees also enjoyed the sessions on technology in the classroom, NSF grant reports and others too numerous to go into detail here. If you feel you missed out, please plan to attend JSM 2008 in Denver.

We have five excellent invited sessions for JSM 2008 (in alphabetical order):
With our invited sessions set, now is the time to think about topic-contributed sessions. Why should you organize or participate in a topic-contributed session?
In order to have a topic-contributed session, you must have an organizer, chair, and speakers lined up before ASA opens up the online submission for talks. When speakers sign up to be part of a topic-contributed session, they need to indicate who their organizer is. And, per usual, all participants in topic-contributed sessions (and invited sessions and regular contributed papers, for that matter) do need to pay their registration before the online submission window closes. The window this year is December 3 - February 4.
While I highly encourage our section members to organize topic-contributed sessions, you can also contribute a paper on your own as a contributed paper. Another option for participation is to submit a poster presentation.
Two final things: 1) Please keep in mind the "one talk" rule, which can be found at http://www.amstat.org/meetings/jsm/2008/index.cfm?fuseaction=speakers, and 2) I need to identify people who are willing to chair sessions at JSM 2008.
Please email me at miller.203@osu.edu with any questions regarding our section’s program at JSM 2008 in Denver (August 3-7, 2008). If you are willing to chair a session and/or want to organize a topic-contributed session, please email me so that I can put you on my list of chairs and topic-contributed session organizers.

After a short hiatus, JSM 2007 marked the return of the Stat Ed Booth! Our booth was located near the registration area, along with other ASA related organizations and groups. This was a terrific location -- we received a great deal of traffic! Included amongst our many visitors were two famous statistics educators, George Cobb and Allan Rossman, pictured below.
The booth contained a variety of resources and information of interest to statistics educators from K-16. Items included information on GAISE, AIMS, STATS, the Undergraduate Statistics Poster Competition, CAUSE, the Statistics Teacher Network, STATCOM, and the new journal, Technology Innovations in Statistics Education.
We also offered a list of sessions at JSM sponsored by the Statistical Education Section and instructions for submitting a Topic Contributed Session for JSM 2008. On a more general level we also provided handouts giving specific information on statistics education-related conferences, journals, and organizations, and a collection of Useful Websites for Statistics Teachers. These handouts proved to be very popular. Next year more information on AP Stat will also be included.
Many interesting conversations were had by all who stopped by our booth. The Stat Ed Booth also became a "hang out" for the Stat Ed community, giving us a place to meet, and a place to 'check in' as we walked from one talk to another, which was great fun.
One item to think about for the future is adding more information on the Statistical Education Section itself, how others can get involved, and how any ASA member can benefit from joining our section. This is a good opportunity to add to our membership.
Many thanks to the many people who volunteered their time so willingly to make this booth possible! Everyone was very happy to answer questions, hand out materials, and point folks in the right direction. ASA was very supportive of us and brought many materials for display, including the winning posters. Rebecca Nichols and Claudine Donovan were especially helpful. A special thank you to Jessica Utts and Jo Hardin for their help. And a special thank you to Jerry Moreno, the founder and champion of the Stat Ed Booth. Not surprising to me, Jerry was there bright and early Sunday morning helping to set things up and offer his support!
The Statistical Education Section Executive Committee has decided that the position of Stat Ed Booth Organizer would be a great job for the 'at large' members of the Committee. This provides a definitive project for those members to work on, and also provides a mechanism for ensuring that the Stat Ed Booth will continue on a yearly basis.
If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions regarding the booth, please let me know. Until then, see you at the Stat Ed Booth at JSM 2008!

The 2008 Waller Education Award was presented at the Joint Statistical Meetings in Salt Lake City to Jo Hardin from Pomona College. Jo, an assistant professor of statistics, has been teaching at Pomona College since 2002 and is the only full time statistician in her department. In her young career at Pomona, she has developed three introductory statistics courses and three second tier statistics courses. All of her courses are well received with high enrollments. She has infused all these courses with her research in microarray analysis. Jo devotes much of her time to reaching out to other disciplines. As stated in her nomination letter: "Jo is an outstanding statistics teacher. She is creative, innovative, and tremendously devoted to the students and their education."
Jo is very active within the ASA's Section on Statistical Education, serving on the Executive Committee. The statistical education community is blessed to have Jo as one of our colleagues. This award symbolizes the bright and promising future she has ahead.

The Joint ASA/AMATYC Committee has gone through a change in name and charge. The committee did not fit into the current structure of AMATYC, and AMATYC asked that the committee be re-conceptualized. The committee is now an ASA-only committee called the Committee on Statistics in Two-Year Colleges. In addition to no longer being a joint-institution committee, the charge encompasses statistics instruction in all two-year institutions. However, the charge and activities of the committee remain essentially the same, and the makeup of the committee includes at least two members who are faculty at a two-year college.
The committee has proposed a summer institute titled "GAISEing Beyond the Crossroads: Improving Instruction in Introductory Statistics" to the American Mathematics Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC). The five-day workshop, to be held June 15-20, 2008, at Cape Cod Community College, will provide participants with direct experience to help them develop classroom activities and assessments that are aligned with both the ASA-endorsed Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) and recommendations in the AMATYC publication, Beyond Crossroads. Each participant will be part of a team that develops a lesson plan and materials that can be incorporated into an introductory statistics course. The workshop is aimed towards statistics faculty at two-year colleges, and workshop instructors include faculty from both four-year and two-year institutions. The workshop is funded by a CAUSEway grant and supported by AMATYC. The AMATYC Board provided positive reviews of the preliminary proposal submitted last spring and will make a decision on the final proposal in late October.

Are you interested in earning some extra money and meeting new teachers with a passion for statistics? If so, consider becoming an AP Statistics Reader. Expenses (travel, lodging, and meals) are paid by the Educational Testing Service, and you will receive a stipend for your work. To complete an online application form, point your browser to http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/teachers/opportunities/4137.html.
Previous readers have said:
The 2008 Reading will be held from June 5-11 in Louisville, KY. Each new reader will be paired with an experienced reader, and we will not assume that you have previous experience using holistic scoring. A holistic approach, rather than an analytical approach, is used to grade the free response questions because we have discovered over the years that the holistic approach works very well for problems with multiple correct approaches where strong emphasis is placed on interpretation and communication. At the 2007 reading, we graded approximately 100,000 exams. In 2008, we are predicting approximately 110,000. Your help is very much needed!
The social committee organizes a variety of voluntary activities that have included participation in numerous sporting events, playing cards and board games, shopping, tossing pigs, watching movies, visiting local attractions such as the Louisville Slugger Museum and Fourth Street Live, attending minor league baseball games, sharing best practices from your classroom, and relaxing in the social lounge. We also have a professional night where a prominent individual in statistics addresses the group. In 2008, Dan Teague, outstanding AP Statistics teacher at the NC School for Science and Mathematics and newly elected Vice-President of the Mathematics Association of America (MAA) has agreed to join us.
If you have any questions, contact Chris Franklin at chris@stat.uga.edu for more information.

Since January 2006, CAUSE has offered free monthly Web-based seminars on the second Tuesday of each month at 2 p.m. The number of statistics educators taking part in these webinars continues to grow, so rather than turning people away, we have increased their enrollment limits from 25 to 90 participants. Sessions are also recorded for later viewing at http://www.CAUSEweb.org/webinar. The next two webinars will feature Andy Zieffler and Michael Rodriguez discussing quantitative assessment in statistics education research (November 13) and Mark Berenson discussing pet peeves in the classroom and how to overcome them (December 11).

The UCLA Department of Statistics' Center for Teaching Statistics is pleased to announce the launch of a new e-journal on October 15. Technology Innovations in Statistics Education (TISE) is devoted to scholarly papers that explore the ways that technology enhances, changes, and affects statistics education. TISE serves what we feel is a critical need to better help the statistics community learn not just how to improve learning and teaching through technology, but how to better teach technology itself.
Changes in technology create changes in our curricula and therefore change the very content we teach. This raises questions about what topics to teach and when, as well as what topics should be dropped from the standard curriculum. When do we introduce the bootstrap? Monte-Carlo Markov Chains?
How do we teach technology itself? When are students ready to learn a "real" package such as R or SAS? How should they be taught to use these packages? Does the time spent teaching students to use sophisticated software detract from their learning of statistical concepts? How do we incorporate technological innovations from outside statistics (Google Maps, real-time sensors) into our teaching?
More traditionally, how do we best incorporate technology into our classrooms? What have we learned, since computers became cheap and prevalent, that will help us in designing curricula and in creating new learning and teaching technology?
The first issue of TISE will be available on October 15 at http://tise.stat.ucla.edu. George Cobb ("The Introductory Statistics Course: A Ptolemaic Curriculum?") asks whether innovations in technology have allowed us to make fundamental changes to the introductory curriculum. Daniel Kaplan ("Computing and Introductory Statistics") describes the need to teach beginning students computation, and describes practices for teaching R in an introductory course. Bill Finzer, Tim Erickson, Kirk Swenson and Matthew Litwin ("Data Into the Classroom") write about innovations in Fathom that allow students (and their teachers) to incorporate increasingly sophisticated data sets into class. Beth Chance, Dani Ben-Zvi, Joan Garfield and Elsa Medina ("The Role of Technology in Improving Student Learning of Statistics") provide an overview of the findings of research on using technology to improve learning. Andee Rubin ("Much has Changed; Little has Changed: Revisiting the Role of Technology in Statistics Education 1992-2007") reflects on how technology has changed in statistical education research over the last 25 years . Dani Ben-Zvi reports on an experience designing a statistics course around the use of a Wiki and surveys the research literature to discuss how this could best be done.
TISE is now seeking submissions of scholarly papers that address any of these themes:
Submitted papers might be research papers (reports of empirical studies or conceptual or theoretical articles), position papers (discussions of timely issues that propose novel solutions or perspectives), or technology innovations (either discussions and descriptions of new technology created by the authors or case studies of innovative uses of existing technology). Submissions are double-blind peer-reviewed by two referees. Authors retain copyrights to their manuscripts. Please visit http://tise.stat.ucla.edu for more information.
TISE has been financially supported by the UCLA Department of Statistics, The UCLA Division of Physical Sciences, Key Curriculum Press, the UCLA Office of Instructional Development, STATA, Amgen, SAS, WH Freeman, The UCLA Office of Informational Technology, and the UCLA Office of the Vice-Chancellor of Research.
TISE would not have been possible without the efforts of many anonymous reviewers, and in particular without the support and work provided by its editorial board: Arthur Bakker, Dani Ben-Zvi, Mahtash Esfandiari, Christine Franklin, Joan Garfield, Tiffany Head (assistant editor), Brian Jersky, Joy Jordan, Cliff Konold, Katie Makar, Deborah Nolan, Dennis Pearl, Roxy Peck, Duncan Temple Lang, Roger Woodard, and Nathan Yau (assistant editor).

Volume 12, Number 2 (Fall 2007)
CAUSE, in conjunction with SIGMAA Statistics Education, is very pleased to offer two JMM pre-conference workshops on Saturday, January 5, at the San Diego Convention Center. Details follow.
Introducing Concepts of Statistical Inference Workshop
Presenters: Allan Rossman and Beth Chance, Cal Poly - San Luis Obispo; George Cobb, Mount Holyoke College; John Holcomb, Cleveland State University
Intended Audience: Teachers of introductory statistics in colleges (including two-year colleges) and high schools
Description: We present ideas and activities for helping students to learn fundamental concepts of statistical inference. These ideas and activities are centered around a randomization-based curriculum rather than normal-based inference; they rely heavily on simulations, both tactile and computer-based. Our goals with this curriculum are to develop students' understanding of the process of statistical investigations and of key concepts of inference, rather more covering a litany of specific methods based on normal approximations. We propose that this approach leads to deeper conceptual understanding, makes a clear connection between study design and scope of conclusions, and provides a powerful and generalizable analysis framework. This hands-on workshop will feature participants working directly with student activities, which they can then implement in their own classrooms. We will also discuss ideas for assessing student understanding and invite participants to contribute to an ongoing assessment/evaluation project.
Logistics: Saturday, January 5, 2008, 8:30am-5:00pm at the San Diego Convention Center, room 9. There is no registration fee for this workshop. Lunch will be provided. Enrollment is limited to 30. For registration and additional details go to http://www.causeweb.org/workshop/inference_jmm08/.
Building (UP) an Undergraduate Statistics Program Workshop
Presenters: Julie Legler, St. Olaf College; Robin Lock, St. Lawrence University
Intended Audience: Faculty and chairs/representatives of mathematics departments looking to establish or invigorate an undergraduate statistics program.
Description: Many colleges and universities are recognizing that this is an opportune time to establish or invigorate an Undergraduate Statistics Program or USP (i.e., programs that offer majors in statistics as well as those offering statistics minors, concentrations or tracks within other majors). Is this a good time for your department to strengthen its statistics program? This workshop will explore this question and provide some useful information with respect to enhancing your USP. The Workshop takes a two pronged approach to USP planning. First, participants will use resources to assess the potential and to facilitate planning for a USP at their institution. The resources will include ASA Undergraduate Statistics Education Initiative (USEI) which provides valuable, thoughtful guidance for institutions creating or developing USPs. In addition to examining the USEI guidelines, the workshop will include sharing the experience of a number of successful undergraduate statistics programs, identifying issues your department may face, discussing and proposing solutions, and constructing a plan for your own department. This workshop will address issues related to curriculum and course development, especially beyond the introductory level, as well as some of the many practical, administrative issues institutions face when considering initiating or enhancing a USP.
Logistics: Saturday, January 5, 2008, 8:30am-5:00pm at the San Diego Convention Center, room 10. There is no registration fee for this workshop. Enrollment is limited to 30. Lunch will be provided. For registration and additional details go to http://www.causeweb.org/workshop/statsprog_jmm08/.

The winners of the Statistical Literacy Competition, organized by the International Statistical Literacy Project of the IASE in Schools in Northern Portugal, received their awards from Chris Wild, past president of the IASE, on August 18, 2008, at the University do Minho, Guimarães, Portugal. We can see in the pictures below the high school winning team (left) and the winning team from middle school (right).
Shown in each of the pictures from left to right are: Juana Sanchez, Director of the ISLP, the winning team, Chris Wild and Bruno de Sousa, from U. do Minho. The teams came from Escola Secundària de Caldas das Taipas and Escola EB2,3 de Valença do Minho, respectively. They received as prizes games provided by the sponsor APM (Mathematics Teachers Association of Portugal), an ISI watch, a $100 check to cover expenses of their travel to Guimarães for the final and travel to the local site where they competed in the premilinary games, and a Certificate. In addition to these prizes, these students will have expenses covered to travel to compete in the International Competition. The teachers of the two teams received SAS JMP and Fathom awards, respectively, and will also receive support to attend the International Competition.
There was also a second prize awarded to teams from Escola Secundària/3 Senhora de Hora and Escola EB2,3 de Valença do Minho, respectively. They also received a $50 check to cover expenses, an ISI watch and games.
In the preliminary games in the different towns, Valença do Minho, Porto and Guimarães, the students received small prizes provided by sponsors Statistics Portugal (INE), Australian Bureau of Statistics, APM, U. do Minho and the DREN (North Portugal Regional Education Authority). The students also heard inspiring presentations by statisticians who gave them an overview of the use of statistics in everyday life and career opportunities in statistics. Not missing was the food and sodas.
The game was similar to the game "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" but called "Who Wants to be Statistically Literate?" Most questions for the games came from Portuguese sources, while others were translated from other sources in the ISLP web page. A typical format of the game was that a U. do Minho graduate student would read the questions to the students, while the question was projected by the data projector. The teams then would discuss the answer or use one of the four life lines (phone a friend, internet, ask the audience or eliminate two answers). Another U. do Minho graduate student would keep track of the punctuation and help students with the life lines.
Other sponsors were the UCLA Department of Statistics and SOCR. We cannot thank enough Pedro Campos of Statistics Portugal, Maria Manuel da Silva Nascimento of UTAD and APM, Bruno de Sousa of U. do Minho and all our sponsors for their help in making the competition possible.
The ISLP web page http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~iase/islp/competition contains a link to a very detailed description of the competition at the different locations in North Portugal and many photos. The games that the students did can also be found there. While browsing there, check the new International Competition.

The second USCOTS took place on May 19-21, 2007, at The Ohio State University, hosted by CAUSE (The Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education). The theme of the conference was "Taking Statistics Teaching to the Next Level." The conference was attended by over 400 -- this was 100 more than USCOTS 2005! Teachers from all departments and institutions came to learn and to exchange ideas about teaching statistics at the undergraduate level.
Our plenary speakers were Allan Rossman, Jessica Utts, Mike Shaunessey, Paul Velleman, and Dick Deveaux. A special presentation was also given by Joan Garfield. USCOTS 2007 included 30 breakout sessions, each one engaging teachers in taking their statistics teaching to the next level. Two sessions called Idea Exchange Forums were also held, featuring 'posters and beyond' contributions by participants.
Joan Garfield was presented with the 2007 USCOTS Lifetime Achievement Award for Statistics Education for her significant, enduring, and continued contributions to the area of Statistics Education.
The CAUSEweb Resource of the Year award was presented to Christopher Bilder, who developed STAR Library (Statistics Teaching and Resource Library). STAR Library was a collection of freely available, customizable, and easy to use resources for teachers and students of introductory statistics. It served as a model for CAUSEweb, and its materials are now a part of CAUSEweb. The award was presented by Roger Woodard, Editor of CAUSEweb.
Unique to USCOTS 2007 was the addition of cluster groups, whose members shared a common interest within statistics education. Clusters included a research cluster, introductory statistics clusters ('get resources' and 'use resources'), an AP Stat cluster, and a graduate student cluster. Clusters met at various times throughout the conference and are currently working on materials to be included on CAUSEweb in 2009.
Photos, handouts, and other information about USCOTS 2007 are posted on the website http://www.causeweb.org/uscots.
USCOTS Program committee: Deb Rumsey (Chair), Dennis Pearl (CAUSE Director), Joan Garfield (Research Program), Jackie Miller (Idea Exchange Forum Chair), Larry Lesser and Doug Andrews (Idea Exchange Forum Team), Jean Scott (CAUSE Program Coordinator), Kythrie Silva (Technology Coordinator)
USCOTS was funded in part by contributions from the Department of Statistics, OSU, the College of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, OSU, the American Statistical Association, and an NSF grant.
