Abstract

This paper outlines the successful professional development workshops provided by Canada’s National Statistical Agency, Statistics Canada, for the Census at School program. Workshops for this international in-class online survey program help teachers develop statistical knowledge and teaching competencies. Workshop participants develop more positive attitudes toward statistics teaching and learning through hands-on exploration. Furthermore, by analyzing the Census at School data with TinkerPlots™ dynamic statistical software, participants learn to use technology to maximize statistical learning.
