Dear Washington Science Teachers Association,
The American Statistical Association’s (ASA) Meeting Within a Meeting (MWM) Statistics Workshop for Mathematics and Science teachers will be held on Wednesday, August 4 and Thursday, August 5 in Vancouver, B.C, Canada in conjunction with the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM). Because prominent statistics educators will be in town for the meetings, ASA takes the opportunity to arrange a statistics workshop for teachers. The MWM statistics workshop will provide an opportunity for middle and high school teachers to enhance their knowledge and teaching of data analysis and statistics within the mathematics and science curriculum and receive hands-on activities they can use in their own classrooms.
The registration fee is $35, which includes materials and refreshments. The American Statistical Association is also going to provide lodging reimbursement assistance to help U.S. teachers attend the workshop in Vancouver, Canada. The MWM program will also include a one-day pass to attend the Statistics Education Sessions at the Joint Statistical Meetings. Optional graduate credit is also available.
More information and registration is available at www.amstat.org/education/mwm. We hope you will encourage your mathematics and science teacher colleagues to register for this unique professional development opportunity. Because space is limited, we recommend that interested teachers register as soon as possible. If you have suggestions on how I can best reach out to mathematics and science teachers in Washington with this information, please let me know.
Thank you,
Rebecca
