S4 E4 - Everyone is a Data Person: Talking Data Science with Marisa Tualla and Christel Bruno
Data science isn't just for math teachers. In this episode, Marisa Tualla and Christel Bruno join me to talk about bringing data science and statistics into K-12 classrooms, and why every educator, whatever their math background, has a role to play. They share what they've learned supporting teachers across Arizona: how inquiry-based approaches draw students in, how data can connect learning across subjects, and how collaboration among teachers builds the capacity to make it all stick. If you've ever wondered where data literacy fits in your classroom, this conversation is a great place to start.
