Practices for Data Literacy: Concrete Action Ideas Across Grades 6-12 to Build Data Literacy in Your Schools

This workshop is being held in partnership with the National Science Education Leadership Association and will be aimed at Science Leaders in Schools.

June 11, 2025 from 5:30pm - 6:30pm ET

 Data literacy is fast becoming a foundational skill to become an educated citizen of the world. In this session Dr. Aaron Reedy, former high school science teacher and cofounder of DataClassroom, will share specific ideas that to build data literacy across middle and high school curriculum. From techniques to help students approach graph interpretation to, teacher PD and up skilling, to practices to improve student data collection and labs, Reedy will cover a wholistic strategy to improve data literacy from students across a school district in grades 6-12. This session will be aimed at Science Leaders, but the strategies presented will be broadly applicable to a range of classrooms and all are welcome to attend. 

Key Takeaways from Webinar

1. Data literacy strategies are more effective if built around learning progressions.

2. Data literacy in science instruction can build off of math instruction.

3. Data literacy requires repetition in varied contexts.

4. Data literacy in the modern world requires digital tools.

Using data as evidence for argument in the AP Research course.

May 20, 2025 from 4:15pm - 5:15pm ET

Want to strengthen the data analysis approach in your AP Research course?

This session is for the AP Research teacher who wants to guide their students through refining a research question, collecting their own data, and finally using that data as evidence for an argument that they make in their AP Research Academic Paper. In this hour, Dr. Aaron Reedy of DataClassroom will cover a general strategy for helping students to refine research questions, analyze data and communicate their findings using graphs and associated statistics. Reedy will also show specifically how DataClassroom can support AP Research students in these tasks.
