Integrating Data Literacy Skills into Science Instruction for Success on the NJSLA and in Life

Data literacy is becoming a skill of increasing importance in our daily lives. The NJSLA-Science requires students to show data literacy skills in a variety of ways. Data literacy skills are also addressed in many standards, such as the Computer Science and Design Thinking Standards. This workshop will examine released items from the NJSLA-Science, and provide developmentally appropriate, standards-based strategies to prepare students to tackle these items. Teachers will leave with resources and ideas to integrate data literacy into all the phases of phenomena-based instruction, from sensemaking to supporting a claim.
