Goals of USCOTS

Hold a national conference that builds on the success of USCOTS 2005 and focuses on undergraduate level statistics education targeting statistics teachers (including AP Statistics).
Share ideas, methods, resources, and research results and methods that take our statistics teaching and learning to the next level; kick our courses up a notch; and builds from the first course to the second course and beyond.
Facilitate incorporating new ideas, methods, and resources into our existing courses and programs.
Promote connections between all teachers of undergraduate level statistics throughout the country.
Facilitate special interest clusters to develop and function after the conference, leading us into USCOTS 2009.
