The new AP Statistics CED released yesterday reveals more info about what the exam will look like in 2027 and beyond. My first take: What I see is very promising. I think the new format will help reduce "secret codes" on the exam. More here: skewthescript.org/blog/secre…

The College Board announced that the AP Statistics course revision will launch in school year 2026-27. Although change can be intimidating, we’re excited about it. In fact, we have some news to share. Take a look: youtube.com/watch?v=b7hb-CS9…

Announcing the winners of @skewthescript’s After-the-AP Data Science Challenge! Along with @NCStateDSA & @CourseKata, we partnered w/ @skewthescript to give students the chance to use modern data science tools to answer: which colleges "pay off" the most? tinyurl.com/yby5rszw

APSIs are great. However, if new a AP Stats teacher can't attend one due to cost (most are $600 - $1,200), timing, or travel, there aren't many other training options.
Well, we just filled that gap. Check it out:

Thank you @MaddySkye for telling our story :)
A San Antonio teacher replaced textbook stats material with real-world lessons to better engage his Southside students and empower them to pursue data science careers.
Now his lessons -- called Skew the Script -- are being used nationwide.

There's no better way to build camaraderie before the AP Stats exam than a class shirt. And there's no better shirts than the ones designed by @ChauvetErica for this year's exam! The exam falls on May 4th --> "May the FOURS be with you." Order here: customink.com/g/xna0-00cp-v6…
👇 Great opportunity 👇

Some good news: We just won a $10,000 grant from the @innovationlab at Harvard. These funds will allow us to expand our offerings, both in terms of socially relevant curriculum and professional development. More details to come :).

As seen on Trader Joe’s soup dumplings: 1.45 minutes is quite a specific proportion of a minute to calculate, but I’m up to the task!
