About Us
What is ESTEEM all about?
ESTEEM II (2022-2027) is a collaborative project involving researchers from NC State (Hollylynne Lee, Gemma Mojica), Eastern Michigan University (Stephanie Casey), University of Southern Indiana (Rick Hudson), and Concord Consortium (Bill Finzer). This team combines expertise in curriculum and software development, research, and teacher education. Building upon the achievements of ESTEEM I (2016-2022), which successfully integrated statistics content and pedagogy into undergraduate mathematics teacher preparation, ESTEEM II began in late 2022. It aims to further enhance this integration by providing faculty with technological and curricular resources, networking experiences, and ongoing support.
Through ESTEEM II, we will address three primary goals:
- Investigate the current systems in undergraduate teacher preparation for teaching data science and statistics
- Build and sustain a data science and statistics teacher education networked improvement community
- Develop, curate and disseminate high-quality data science and statistics teacher education curriculum materials
