Teaching the Youcubed High School Data Science Course

Presented by Jo Boaler (youcubed)

Wednesday, March 31, 2027ยท9:00 AM

This on-demand professional development workshop from youcubed, the Stanford University mathematics education research centre co-founded by Professor Jo Boaler, prepares teachers to deliver Units 1โ€“8 of the youcubed High School Data Science course, titled 'Explorations in Data Science.' The course represents a groundbreaking approach to making data science accessible and engaging for high school students, developed by a Stanford-led team that has published proposed standards for teaching data science from kindergarten through tenth grade. Participants gain access to a comprehensive workshop recording (not a live event) that walks through the pedagogy, content, and activities for each unit of the curriculum. The data science course itself emphasises real-world applications, helping students develop data literacy skills that are increasingly essential across careers and disciplines. Access to the recording continues for two years from the date of purchase, giving teachers ample time to revisit the material as they implement the curriculum. This workshop is ideal for mathematics and computer science teachers looking to expand their offerings with a rigorous, research-backed data science course developed at one of the world's leading universities.

Key Takeaways

โœ“Complete preparation to teach all 8 units of the youcubed high school data science curriculum; research-backed pedagogical approaches to data literacy; real-world data science applications for student engagement; two years of access to workshop recordings for ongoing reference

Evidence base: Developed at Stanford University's Graduate School of Education; informed by published research in the Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education and youcubed's proposed 'Big Ideas in Data Science' standards for Kโ€“10.
