The Statistics Teaching Inventory (STI) was designed to gain insight into the teaching practices of U.S.-based, college-level introductory statistics instructors. In particular, the items on the STI were written to reflect instructional practices related to current trends and recommendations in statistics education (e.g., the 2016 college-level GAISE report). In this presentation, we will share instructors' responses to the STI to examine the current state of the curricular and instructional practices being used by introductory statistics instructors. We also use these responses to explore the extent to which instructors report that their introductory statistics courses are aligned with recommended practices as outlined by the 2016 GAISE College Report. Finally, we look ahead to how the STI will be adapted based on the drafted recommendations and student learning outcomes outlined for the upcoming GAISE report.
