The 2024 Electronic Conference on Teaching Statistics theme is "What's Next? Moving Forward". The Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate of Statistics Education will host the conference from June 10th to June 13th. The conference will include hour-long invited speakers, thirty or seventy-minute breakout sessions, birds of feather sessions, poster sessions, and regional face-to-face/online conferences. There will also be online workshops on June 3rd and 4th.
Our students may be undergraduate students, AP statistics students, or pre-service teachers learning to teach statistics to others. We have identified four tracks to prepare our students, and each presenter will select a track from the list below.
• Moving Forward - What's Next in Technology?
• Moving Forward - What's Next in Pedagogy?
• Moving Forward - What's Next in Content?
• Past, Present, and Future of Statistics/Data Science
The conference will have channels in Slack for additional conversations about these topics.
