2007 Statistics Institute

NCSSM

During the summer of 2007, a group of statistics teachers met at the NC School of Science and Mathematics to develop materials for the AP Statistics course. The group was funded by a generous grant from SAS Institute, the creators of JMP-Intro software.

The group included statisticians and experienced AP Statistics teachers from high schools around the country. They included past members of the AP Statistics development committee, statistics textbook authors, and active participants on the AP list-serv. The group also included a student, Brent Kitchen, who served as the student reader (guinea pig) for these materials. Brent’s response to the materials was crucial to the writing process.
