Dear Colleagues,

The GAISE (Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education) committee appointed by the American Statistical Association is pleased to release a draft of its report, which provides an update of the recommendations for teaching introductory statistics in the 2005 GAISE College Report.  This committee has been working for 1.5 years and has previously requested input through multiple means, including webinars and conference presentations.  We now invite you to read the draft report and provide feedback on its content and conceptual framework.

The draft report can be found at: www.amstat.org/education/gaise/collegeupdate.  Feedback can be provided through an online survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GAISEUpdate.  You may also provide input directly to one of the committee co-chairs, Michelle Everson, at everson.50@osu.edu or Megan Mocko at mmeece@stat.ufl.edu.  Feedback received by March 31, 2016 will help the committee to produce its final report for consideration by the ASA Board of Directors.


Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback!


Sincerely,


Michelle Everson
