Description

To help ensure that students can critically evaluate data--and use it to promote social justice--this book outlines principles and practices for teaching data literacy as part of social studies education.

The author shows how social studies content and skills can enhance data literacy, and its importance in supporting students' historical thinking and civic engagement.

Book Features:Helps social studies teachers and teacher educators understand the value of teaching data literacy.
