Full course description
Data Science has proven helpful in a wide range of knowledge areas. The goal of this course is to help middle and high school educators integrate data science and global perspectives in their classes. Teachers will learn about Data Science fundamentals, its importance and impact on education, and will acquire pedagogical practices to implement in the classroom. The course provides Data Science integration lesson examples across grade bands and subject areas, and hands-on activities for teachers to implement and share their experiences.
The first 40 middle and high school educators in Virginia to enroll, will receive a complimentary registration and the opportunity to earn an additional $150 stipend (contact Kim Wilkens, ksw8y@virginia.edu for details).
Teachers throughout the U.S. and abroad are also encouraged to enroll. All participants will receive a certificate of completion after delivering a lesson plan reflecting their new knowledge.
