Did you know that nearly 57 percent of the 5.7 million U.S. teachers who returned to the classroom this fall are in elementary or middle school—and almost 80 percent are women? From interactive data tools that help students learn about their state, videos that explain the value of census data through a variety of topics, fun facts that help bring U.S. Census Bureau data to life with statistics connected to holidays, anniversaries, and timely observances, and teacher thank-you cards that help show appreciation and spark students’ creativity—the SIS program has something for your classroom no matter what subject or grade level you teach.
Developed by teachers and subject matter experts across the country, SIS materials boost students’ statistical literacy, prepare them for a data-driven world, and enhance their learning in many subjects. Share the resources below with your fellow educators and students.
