Data Minds: How Today’s Teachers Can Prepare Students for Tomorrow’s World
by Cathy Williams Jo BoalerDevelop curious minds. Empower every learner. Shape the future. How can we prepare students for a world where data-driven decision-making shapes nearly every aspect of life? Data Minds: How Today’s Teachers Can Prepare Students for Tomorrow’s World helps K–8 educators infuse data literacy into everyday lessons across disciplines, without overwhelming existing curricula. Data literacy is an ability and willingness to engage with and understand data in the world, and it can be incorporated throughout the school day to encourage student agency. Legendary educators Jo Boaler and Cathy Williams inspire teachers to develop "data minds" in their students—fostering analytical, creative, and skeptical thinkers who can successfully navigate the data-rich world. Aligned with current math, STEM, and GAISE II standards, this book Provides innovative, real-world stories from classrooms across the globe, offering inspiration and insight from other educators Highlights five key habits of mind that position students actively, giving them a role in seeking and investigating knowledge deeply Includes engaging and fascinating examples of data visualizations that demonstrate that data analysis goes way beyond charts and strings of numbers Offers flexible frameworks, including the Four-Part Data Cycle, that focus on asking questions, analyzing patterns, and developing multi-modal representations like graphs, maps, and even art pieces Presents extensive teacher "data moves," reflection questions, and examples in each chapter showing how to connect lessons to students’ interests, from oceanography to basketball Includes online access to free professional development resources and accompanying lessons through Stanford University’s youcubed From forming data questions to cultivating creativity, Data Minds will help educators turn every lesson into an opportunity for meaningful discovery. By integrating data literacy into the curriculum, teachers can unlock new levels of student engagement at the same time they are preparing learners for the demands of tomorrow′s workforce.

Data Science Careers, Training, and Hiring: A Comprehensive Guide to the Data Ecosystem: How to Build a Successful Data Science Career, Program, or Unit (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)
by Renata Rawlings-GossThis book is an information packed overview of how to structure a data science career, a data science degree program, and how to hire a data science team, including resources and insights from the authors experience with national and international large-scale data projects as well as industry, academic and government partnerships, education, and workforce. Outlined here are tips and insights into navigating the data ecosystem as it currently stands, including career skills, current training programs, as well as practical hiring help and resources. Also, threaded through the book is the outline of a data ecosystem, as it could ultimately emerge, and how career seekers, training programs, and hiring managers can steer their careers, degree programs, and organizations to align with the broader future of data science. Instead of riding the current wave, the author ultimately seeks to help professionals, programs, and organizations alike prepare a sustainable plan for growth in this ever-changing world of data. The book is divided into three sections, the first “Building Data Careers”, is from the perspective of a potential career seeker interested in a career in data, the second “Building Data Programs” is from the perspective of a newly forming data science degree or training program, and the third “Building Data Talent and Workforce” is from the perspective of a Data and Analytics Hiring Manager. Each is a detailed introduction to the topic with practical steps and professional recommendations. The reason for presenting the book from different points of view is that, in the fast-paced data landscape, it is helpful to each group to more thoroughly understand the desires and challenges of the other. It will, for example, help the career seekers to understand best practices for hiring managers to better position themselves for jobs. It will be invaluable for data training programs to gain the perspective of career seekers, who they want to help and attract as students. Also, hiring managers will not only need data talent to hire, but workforce pipelines that can only come from partnerships with universities, data training programs, and educational experts. The interplay gives a broader perspective from which to build.
