Elementary, Secondary, and Informal Education: A Distance Learning Model for High School Statistics Teachers

“高中统计教师远程学习模式”建议美国统计协会、大学教师（加州理工学院和加州大学洛杉矶分校）和中学教师合作，为那些没有充分准备教授统计学的高中数学教师开发和试点一系列两门课程。目前用于加强统计知识的主要专业发展资源是为期一周的讲习班，缺乏继续学习和持续支持的机制。通过将研讨会与为期一年的远程教育相结合，该项目提供了课程变化所要求的内容领域的专业发展模式。更具体地说，该项目将分为两个部分：内容课程和实习课程。这两门课程有一个共同的形式，包括为期一周的研讨会，然后是为期一年的在线远程学习部分。这两门课程还包括额外的内容。这个为期三年的项目将招募108名高中教师。项目完成后，我们会致力推广(1)内容课程，以及(2)在物理和化学等其他SMET内容领域，推广提高教师资历的模式。

"A Distance Learning Model for High School Statistics Teachers" proposes a collaboration between the American Statistical Association, university faculty (Cal Poly and UCLA), and secondary teachers to develop and pilot a sequence of two courses for high school mathematics teachers whose training has not adequately prepared them to teach statistics. The primary professional development resource currently available for enhancing statistics knowledge is a weeklong workshop, which lacks a mechanism for continued learning and sustained support.By combining a workshop with a yearlong distance education component, this project provides a model of professional development in content areas mandated by curricular change. More specifically, the project will have two parts: a Content Course and a Practicum Course. The two courses have a common format comprised of a weeklong workshop followed by a yearlong, online distance learning component. Both courses also include additional components.This three-year project will enroll a total of 108 high-school teachers. Upon completion of the project, efforts will be focused on the dissemination of (1) the content course and (2) a model for improving teacher qualifications in other SMET content areas undergoing curricular change, such as physics and chemistry.
