What Can We Learn from Statistics Departments who Have Statistics Teacher Training Programs?
Preparing graduate students to teach, first for assignment as teaching assistants but also because some will follow academic careers, is a major concern for mathematics and statistics departments. A recent issue of The American Statistician featured a special section where representatives of four statistics departments described their training programs for graduate students. These training programs are briefly described and the session’s participants are given the opportunity to interact with the presenters and think about how these ideas can apply to their own situation of teaching statistics.
