In the course, participants use statistical tools and work with data to uncover patterns that impact our communities and the world at large. Integrating social justice standards as a basis for problem-solving through statistics and probability empowers participants, and subsequently the students they teach, to be able to unveil data patterns in their communities and lived experiences. Integrating the use of the statistical thinking process, data science and probability help participants and their students to analyze and respond to individual and institutional bias and injustice.
