IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. Loebsack introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Education and Labor
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to provide
for the development of State statistical literacy plans and to
authorize the Secretary of Education to make grants for statistics-
related teacher professional development and the improvement of
statistics education.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Statistical Teaching, Aptitude, and
Training Act of 2010'' or the ``STAT Act of 2010''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) Statistical literacy, the understanding and use of the
language and tools of statistics, is vital for United States
citizens in an era of intense global competition and growing
reliance on data, because of a statistically literate
individual's ability to--
(A) ask and evaluate critical questions about the
design of a study and the appropriateness of the
conclusions drawn from a study;
(B) distinguish arguments based on data and
evidence from arguments based on anecdotes;
(C) recognize and interpret different
representations of data in context; and
(D) formulate questions that can be addressed with
data, collect and organize relevant data, and draw
appropriate statistical conclusions.
(2) Statistical literacy is essential for both effective
citizenship and personal well-being because of the everyday
need to--
(A) interpret and synthesize data displays and
summaries, such as polls, surveys, and study outcomes;
and
(B) critically evaluate claims based on data--
(i) as a consumer of the news media;
(ii) in making medical decisions; and
(iii) in making financial decisions, such
as decisions related to a mortgage or a car
repair.
(3) Statistics provides tools for describing variability
and uncertainty to support making informed decisions, both
large and small. A foundation in statistical thinking helps
individuals to evaluate risks and weigh the likelihood of
various outcomes.
(4) Statistical literacy provides tools for dealing with
uncertainty. There is uncertainty in virtually every situation
and number individuals face, but statistical literacy enables
individuals to make rational decisions in the face of
uncertainty.
(5) Statistical concepts are important for the study of
mathematics, the natural sciences, and the social sciences. In
mathematics, statistical literacy provides applications and
real-life illustrations of the importance of mathematics, which
motivates students for deeper learning. In the natural sciences
and the social sciences, statistical problem-solving teaches a
framework for the scientific process and an understanding of
data and their limitations.
(6) Effective statistical literacy education in elementary
and secondary school would--
(A) produce graduates better equipped with the
skills necessary to compete in the workforce of the
21st century, with its burgeoning growth of and
dependence on data;
(B) enhance student learning and problem-solving
skills across disciplines; and
(C) equip students with knowledge needed to be
responsible and engaged citizens.
(7) Room exists for significant improvement in statistics
education because of the following factors:
(A) While national mathematics standards and
benchmarks from organizations such as Achieve, the
College Board, and the National Council for Teachers of
Mathematics support data analysis and probability as
essential components of mathematics education, many
elementary and secondary school teachers have not
received the necessary training at the appropriate
level to teach statistical literacy in their
classrooms.
(B) Most State guidelines include statistics and
probability, but the topic tends to be skipped because
of the lack of teacher preparation and proper emphasis
on the topic in State assessments.
(C) While some students do take a course in
statistics, sound statistical reasoning skills take
time for students to develop and cannot be honed in a
single course. Foundational statistical concepts should
be introduced and nurtured in the elementary grades and
strengthened and expanded throughout the middle school
and high school grades and in postsecondary courses.
(D) Teacher training programs at institutions of
higher education for pre-service mathematics and
science teachers and professional development programs
designed to reach in-service mathematics and science
teachers do not yet include statistical concepts and
pedagogy at the appropriate level.
(E) Teachers do not yet have access to materials
supported by statistics education research.
