Modules for Developing Statistics Graduate Teaching Assistants’ Capacity for Teaching
Page: 1488
Although statistics graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) face the difficult task of teaching undergraduate students with a broad range of backgrounds, they often do so with little to no preparation in statistics teaching. There are resources developed for mathematics GTAs; however, there is a lack of resources that can support statistics GTAs in addressing the disciplinary need of teaching and learning statistics. To address this challenge, we developed four modules for Learning to teach Equitably with Authentic Data based on a design-based approach. These modules build on existing frameworks of teaching mathematics and recommendations for teaching undergraduate statistics. The poster will include descriptions of each module and problems of practice that emerged when GTAs participated in modules at two GTA communities.
