Session Description:

Data scientist is one of the emerging jobs according to U.S. job market trends. With a high demand in the workforce, four-year colleges and universities, community colleges, and K-12 institutions have been developing, adopting, and revising curricula. Many talks, seminars, sessions focus on different teaching contexts whether be K-12, community colleges, or four-year college and universities separately. The goal of this session is to break those barriers and provide opportunity for data science educators in different teaching contexts to learn from each other. The talks will include curricular innovations and implementations from different educational contexts. We will discuss implications for the broader statistics education community.
