Join the Statistics Teaching Community
Where Innovation Meets Collaboration
By educators, for educators
What you'll gain from this webinar
Connect with a collaborative network dedicated to transforming statistics education
Join the inaugural kick-off of a new Statistics Teaching Community bringing together tertiary educators who share your challenges and your passion for effective statistics pedagogy. This isn't just another webinar—it's the foundation of an ongoing collaborative space where you'll find support, share expertise, and collectively elevate how we teach statistics.
Discover evidence-based active learning strategies that actually work
Move beyond traditional lecture formats with practical insights from a compelling success case presentation. Learn how leading statistics educators from Utrecht University and Radboud University have successfully implemented active learning methods that significantly improve student comprehension, retention, and confidence in complex statistical concepts.
Shape the future of statistics education together
Participate in dynamic, interactive discussions where your voice matters. Contribute your ideas on the most effective interventions for enhancing student learning, from improving coursework relevance to integrating modern data tools and developing assessments that measure deep conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization.
Why this matters now
If you teach statistics at the tertiary level, you know the challenges: diverse student preparedness, stubborn misconceptions about statistical concepts, declining engagement in traditional formats, and the constant pressure to keep content relevant in our rapidly evolving data-driven world.
You're not alone in facing these challenges. Research shows that statistics educators across institutions struggle with similar issues—students who believe "they're just bad at math," misconceptions that persist despite correct instruction, and the difficulty of making abstract concepts tangible and meaningful.
This community exists because we believe that together, we can do better. By sharing what works, learning from each other's experiences, and building on collective expertise, we can create more engaging, effective approaches to teaching statistics that truly prepare students for success.
