Data Literacy in Action: Empowering Teachers Across the Core Subjects

This workshop equips educators with strategies to integrate data literacy into instruction across core subjects. Participants explore the foundations of data literacy, including the ability to collect, organize, visualize, analyze, interpret, and share data effectively. The session provides discipline-specific applications in math, science, ELA, and social studies, while also introducing engaging tools such as slow reveal graphs, data puzzles, and authentic datasets. Educators leave with actionable approaches to align activities with learning standards and assess students’ progress in data literacy.

• Limited student proficiency in interpreting and using data effectively across subject areas.
  
  
• Gaps in data literacy skill development from elementary to high school.
  
  
• Lack of engaging, standards-aligned strategies to integrate data literacy into daily instruction.
  

1. Practical Integration of Data Literacy Across Disciplines – Participants will learn how to design subject-specific lessons that embed data analysis and interpretation skills, fostering decision-making and problem-solving.
   
   
2. Engaging Instructional Strategies – Participants will explore interactive approaches, such as slow reveal graphs and data puzzles, to promote curiosity, critical thinking, and pattern recognition in students.
   
   
3. Assessment and Alignment with Standards – Participants will gain tools to evaluate student data literacy using rubrics, authentic datasets, and case studies, ensuring instruction meets relevant learning standards.
