CAUSEmos: CAUSE Making Outreach Sustainable for Statistics Educators

促进本科生统计教育联盟正在建立一个可持续的外展活动周期，包括每两年举行一次的美国教学统计会议。统计教育工作者正在与其他人合作，并回馈本科统计教育工作者社区。协作者被组织成兴趣一致的集群，然后组织成互动的集群。这些相互作用的分组旨在推动统计教育界比组成统计教育界的教师的活动总和更快地向前发展。智力上的优点：这一外联努力以现代和创新项目为基础，其中许多项目得到了国家科学基金会的资助。USCOTS在其课程和社会活动中融入了无数生动而引人入胜的教学技术、想法和资源。CAUSEweb.org上的现有事业赞助的数字图书馆，一个主要的国家研讨会计划，以及计划良好的全年活动，与USCOTS相辅相成。此外，持续不断地指导和支持协作；网上研讨会(网络研讨会)和其他虚拟会议机会；定期出版广为阅读的电子新闻；编写一套电子手册来指导多国办事处的新成员和继续成员；作为有效评价计划的基础的需求评估；以及与众多专业组织的牢固伙伴关系，确保非洲统计教育中心成为凝聚力不断增强和不断进步的统计教育工作者社区不可或缺的一部分。CAUSEmos计划还帮助课堂教师从当前的研究中受益，并将他们的课堂转变为研究实验室，以学习和改进他们的教学，并与更大的研究团队联系，以更广泛地审视重要问题。广泛的影响：再加上领导、后续活动和团聚的创新支持计划，USCOTS的参与者回到他们的家乡机构，向学生和同事传达他们所学到的教学、研究内容和方法。CAUSEmos计划的目标是研究生、AP统计教师、两年制大学的教师，以及数学、社会科学和商学系的广大统计教师社区，让他们建立联系、合作和贡献。全球教育工作者社区可以访问CAUSEWeb数字资源图书馆，包括那些探索CAUSEmos的人制作的产品和东西，这进一步加强了国家的影响。

The Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education (CAUSE) is building a sustainable cycle of outreach activities including a biennial U.S. Conference On Teaching Statistics (USCOTS). Statistics educators are collaborating with others and contributing back to the community of undergraduate statistics educators. Collaborators are organized into clusters with aligned interests, and then into interacting clusters. These interacting clusters are designed to move the statistics education community forward more rapidly than the sum of the activities of the teachers who compose it.Intellectual Merit: This outreach effort is grounded in modern and innovative projects, many of which have been funded by the NSF. USCOTS incorporates a myriad of lively and engaging teaching techniques, ideas, and resources in its sessions and social activities. An existing CAUSE sponsored digital library at CAUSEweb.org, a major national program of workshops, and well-planned year-round activities complement USCOTS. Further, ongoing mentoring and support for collaborations; web based seminars (Webinars) and other virtual meeting opportunities; a regular widely read E-News; a developing set of electronic handbooks to guide new and continuing cluster members; a needs assessment underpinning an effective evaluation plan; and strong partnerships with numerous professional organizations assure that CAUSEmos becomes integral to a cohesive growing and advancing community of statistics educators. The CAUSEmos program also helps classroom teachers benefit from current research and turn their classes into research labs to study and improve their teaching, as well as connect with larger research teams to look more broadly at important problems.Broader Impact: Coupled with an innovative support program of lead-up and follow-up activities and reunions, participants at USCOTS return to their home institutions to relay the pedagogy and research content and methods they have learned to students and colleagues. The CAUSEmos program target graduate students, AP statistics teachers, instructors at two-year colleges, and the broad community of statistics instructors based in departments of mathematics, social science, and business to become connected, to collaborate, and to contribute. The national impact is further enhanced by the global communities of educators with access to the CAUSEweb library of digital resources, including products thing produced by those exploring the CAUSEmos.
