What made planning and delivering this course different/challenging?
Condensed time period
Background of “students”
Experience of “students”
Balancing between what they needed and our thoughts about what an intro stat class “should” cover
Not being prepared for the personality of the group

What made this course successful?
Instructional Team
Master Teacher
Extremely important part of the team
Graduates become Master Teachers for future cohorts
Some graduates and previous assistants are lead instructors
Flexibility and ability to adapt
Tailoring material to audience through examples, project, and discussion

Where are we now?
Several more courses have been taught for Middle-Level teachers. First 4 cohorts were in Lincoln, additional cohorts in Omaha, and a few more around the state.
Part of Nebraska Math and Science Summer Institute
Other courses have been developed as “spin-offs” of this class
Statistics for HS Teachers (in-service)
Statistics for Elementary Teachers (pre-service)
