by LAURA BURGHARD

Please register for......... Statway: Results and Lessons Learned, Presented by: Ann Edwards (Carnegie Foundation for Advancement of Teaching) 02:00pm - 03:00pm Eastern Standard Time, October 11th, 2016 Link to register: https://www.causeweb.org Abstract: Statway is an accelerated pathway for students who place into developmental mathematics that integrates college level introductory statistics with developmental mathematics learning outcomes. Developed by a network of practitioners and researchers organized by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, Statway has served over 11,000 students in more than 30 colleges and universities across the country since its launch in 2011. Statway students successfully complete their college level mathematics course credit at three times the rate of their peers in the traditional developmental sequence in half the time. This webinar will present the latest results, learning outcomes, and pedagogical approach of Statway, as well as lessons learned about the design and implementation of effective math pathways more generally. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Logistics : The webinar will be conducted using the GoToWebinar software platform.

The CAUSE Cartoon Caption Contest for October is now taking entries

by LAURA BURGHARD

The CAUSE Cartoon Caption Contest for October is now taking entries The Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education is happy to announce our fifth Cartoon Caption Contest. Each month a cartoon, drawn by British cartoonist John Landers, will be posted for you and your students to suggest statistical captions. The next cartoon and the entry rules for the contest ending October 1 are at https://www.causeweb.org/cause/caption-contest/october/2016/submissions The best captions will be posted on CAUSEweb and the winner(s) will receive their choice of a coffee mug or t-shirt imprinted with the cartoon or free registration to eCOTS 2018. Enjoy. September Results: We had 56 submissions for the September caption contest that featured a cartoon showing a crash scene on a rural road with an upcoming curve that looked bell-shaped. The September caption contest had two co-winners. Eugenie Jackson, a student at University of Wyoming, won with his entry “Even a crash course in model-fitting will need to consider distributions other than normal.” Eugenie’s caption was selected for its clever play on words and being well suited for starting a conversation about the normality assumption in statistical models. Our second winner was Amy Nowacki from Cleveland Clinic/Case Western Reserve University whose entry “The dangers of driving more than 3 standard deviations below the speed limit,” would be useful in a classroom discussion of z-scores. Other honorable mentions that rose to the top of the judging included “Big pile-up at percentile marker -1.96 on the bell-curve. You might want to take the chi-square curve to avoid these negative values,” written by Mickey Dunlap from University of Tennessee at Martin; “Call the nonparametric team! This is not normal!” written by Semra Kilic-Bahi of Colby-Sawyer College; “I assumed the driving conditions today would be normal!” written by John Vogt of Newman University; and “CAUTION: Z- values seem smaller than they appear. Slow down & watch for stopped traffic reading these values,” written by Kevin Schirra, a student at University of Akron. Thanks to everyone who submitted a caption and congratulations to all of our Winners!

Teaching Statistics through Data Investigations

by LAURA BURGHARD

I wanted to let my CAUSEweb colleagues know about the upcoming Fall offering of my Teaching Statistics through Data Investigations MOOC for Educators. Many college level faculty and TAs teaching intro level statistics content have found the course beneficial to inspire new teaching strategies, tools, and frameworks---all aligned with the GAISE K-12 and College frameworks! It’s a completely free professional learning opportunity designed primarily for educators who teach statistics in middle school through early college, but is relevant for those who teach disciplines that use data-based explorations extensively to make claims and inferences (e.g., Social sciences, science). This course allows participants to learn, along with colleagues from around the world, to use an investigation cycle to teach statistics and to help students explore data to make evidence-based claims. The 5-unit course will be open Sept 26th- December 19th for flexibility in engagement! Participants can earn certificate of completions and have an opportunity to also pursue micro-credentials and badges to assess and "certify" their understandings of key tools for teaching statistics. Please share with colleagues and teachers in local middle and high schools! See http://friday.institute/tsdi:cause_hl and feel free to ask me questions about the course!! ( hollylynne(a)ncsu.edu ) See the CAUSE webinar recording here to learn more about the design and implementation of the course. Many Smiles Hollylynne -- Hollylynne S.

Correction: Webinar registration: September 13th, Teaching and Learning webinar with Neal Rogness and Jennifer Kaplan CO-presenters

by LAURA BURGHARD

Please register for Using a Faculty Learning Community to Develop High-Impact, Little-Time Activities to Help Students Better Understand the Meaning of Parameter, Teaching & Learning webinar on September 13th. Note - there is a CHANGE OF TIME for this webinar only. It will take place at 1 p.m., rather than 2 p.m. eastern. Link to register: https://www.causeweb.org/cause/webinar/ Presenter : Neal Rogness and Jennifer Kaplan Abstract: Research on faculty professional development suggests that in order for faculty to change their teaching, they must perceive a problem, be presented with changes they can adapt to their own teaching style, and see evidence of change in student learning based on the changes. Many words in statistics pose a barrier for entry level students because they everyday meanings which differ from their discipline usage within statistics; this can lead to lexical ambiguity for students. The webinar will focus on two High-Impact, Little-Time (HILT) activities developed by faculty involved in a faculty learning community to help exploit lexical ambiguities associated with parameter. We will present the activities, along with the data that show the effectiveness of the activities with respect to student learning. J ennifer J. Kaplan, University of Georgia; Neal Rogness, Grand Valley State University; Diane Fisher, University of Louisiana at Lafayette
