The Civic Data Project uses a collaborative co-design process in partnership with teachers to develop resources and activities for the social studies classroom that engage students in data inquiry, deepen data literacy, and build data efficacy.

 

Are you a social studies teacher interested in participating in this project or learning more about data-rich resources and activities to support your classroom work?

 

For Teachers

Teaching data literacy in social studies can equip more people with the knowledge and skills to analyze and use data with power, and the wisdom to recognize the limits of data. The teaching of data literacy can give people the capability to see the stories that data tell, and to change those stories.
