CensusAtSchool on Nine to Noon this morning
This morning sometime after 11am, I’ll be talking on Radio New Zealand’s Nine to Noon programme about one of the Department’s projects, CensusAtSchool. I’ll post a link to the interview recording once it’s online.
CensusAtSchool runs biennial surveys online to get data of interest to Year 5-13 students by asking them questions about themselves. This data then feeds into the teaching and learning about statistics. The surveys produce data about kids, from kids, for kids – to enrich their learning about how to collect, explore and analyse data.
The project also goes much further and provides support to teachers across all dimensions of teaching statistics in schools in New Zealand.
For more, see the CensusAtSchool website.
