    Abstract: Introductory college statistics courses play an influential role in the education of future K-12 teachers. The newly revised ASA Pre-K-12 GAISE II document addresses the essentials needed to prepare students for success in K-12 and post-secondary statistics and data science courses. This webinar will discuss the revised GAISE II and actively explore data science examples that demonstrate the evolution from the K-12 to the post-secondary level.
