What are the lessons we have learned that will positively impact the data and statistical literacy of our students in the future? I have been fortunate to collaborate with amazing colleagues through the years who have enlightened and inspired me to learn these lessons and to continue the journey for advocating data and statistical literacy in our society. In this presentation I will discuss the art and science of learning and teaching from both small and big data for teaching statistical problem solving and data literacy at the school level. The necessity for the stimulating journey in statistics education is more vital than ever and how appealing for you to be part of that journey.
