Launch of K–12 Data Literacy & Data Science Learning Progressions

A roadmap for teaching K-12 data science

We’re proud to share words from National Council for the Social Studies President Tina Elsworth on the launch of the K–12 Data Literacy & Data Science Learning Progressions:

 

“NCSS is thrilled to be a collaborator on this important initiative… Incorporating data literacy into social studies helps students to think critically about data to make better informed decisions and to fully participate as responsible democratic citizens, while also encouraging them to consider diverse perspectives from various people.”

 

National Council for the Social Studies is the largest association in the country devoted solely to social studies education. With members in all the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 69 foreign countries, NCSS serves as an umbrella organization for elementary, secondary, and college teachers of history, civics, geography, economics, political science, sociology, psychology, anthropology, and law-related education
