Further Information: How to learn more about DOE and Other Statistical Matters
The set of 25 DOE modules (approximately 200 printed pages,
total) is meant to serve as a resource for teacher training,
curriculum development, and classroom ideas. It contains
extensive graphics, numerous R/A/C (Reinforcement, Assessment,
Connections) exercises--and their answers--and several
extended interactive DOE activities.
The modules are available for $40. We can mail you a paper copy
of the modules. Just send a check for $40 payable to the Macomb
Intermediate School District to cover printing and mailing
along with your request to:
Mary Alice Wyland
Macomb ISD

We need your help and feedback!
In order for this project to be successful, we need help
from others who are interested in learning more about DOE,
developing and trying out ideas in their own teaching, and
sharing their materials and experiences. We also invite your
comments and suggestions on what we have done and what you
think we ought to do.
To join our network, either write to Bob Peterson at the
above address, or email him at
kabob41@comcast.net.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Links to Statistical Resources
The American Statistical
Association (ASA)
The home page of the ASA, the principal professional
statistical organization in the U.S. and Canada. Contains
information on ASA educational activities and meetings, as
well as all the usual membership info.
The
Journal of Statistical Education (JSE)
JSE is an online electronic journal devoted to statistical
education. It contains many interesting articles, datasets,
examples, demos, and case histories on statistical education,
many of which are concerned with teaching basic statistical
ideas at an elementary level. Its editors and authors include
many of the leading lights of statistical education. This is
an essential resource for anyone interested in statistical
education. Best of all, it's free, and is available by email
even if you don't have a Web browser.
The
CHANCE Database
From the CHANCE home page:
This data base contains materials designed to help teach a
CHANCE course or a more standard introductory probability or
statistics course. The CHANCE course is a case study
quantitative literacy course developed cooperatively by
Middlebury, Grinnell, Spelman, University of California San
Diego, University of Minnesota, and Dartmouth. The aim of
CHANCE is to make students more informed, and critical,
readers of current news that uses probability and statistics
as reported in daily newspapers such as "The New York
Times" and the "The Washington Post" and
current journals and magazines such as "Chance",
"Science", "Nature", and the "New
England Journal of Medicine".
This is an invaluable resource for statistical education!

StatLib
StatLib is the mother of all collections of datasets.
Hundreds of datasets are collected here, small and large,
complex and simple. Many of the datasets are derived from
commercial textbooks and so can easily be incorporated into
student projects by referring to the texts for the
accompanying documentation. In addition to the datasets, there
are also links to other statistical resources, including
downloadable software.

The U. of F. has assembled many interesting resources and
statistical links.They also have a statistics job listing at
this site for those interested in seeing some of what
statisticians do (mostly these are teaching positions).

Helberg's List of Statistics Resources
Clay Helberg, a statistician at the University of Wisconsin,
has assembled a large collection of statistical links.
(Almost?) Everything
here is there, plus commercial software home pages, numerous
mathematics and statistical journals, other professional
organizations, and some of his own particular interests. This
is an attic worth rummaging through if you are curious about
statistical resources on the Web.
If you are aware of any other resources for statistical
education (especially secondary education), please let Bob
Peterson know so that we can add it to this list.
