SIGMAA on Statistics and Data Science Education Charter
Article II. Activities
- Section 1. This SIGMAA will engage in
activities such as, but not limited to, the following:
- a) Hold an annual meeting in conjunction with MathFest,
- b) Sponsor sessions in connection with MathFest,
- c) Maintain an e-mail list to facilitate
communication among members,
- d) Maintain a web page of links related to
undergraduate statistics and data science,
- e) Promote the publication of articles related to
undergraduate statistics and data science in MAA publications, and
- f) Encourage similar activities among (regional)
sections of the MAA.
- Section 2. Relationship with MAA
Activities
- a. The ASA/MAA Joint Committee on Undergraduate
Statistics and Data Science Education. Opportunities for cooperation
between the SIGMAA and the Committee abound. While the
Committee's charge is to address issues of curriculum,
pedagogy, and faculty development, the SIGMAA will
provide a group that can work at a more "grass roots"
level to implement various initiatives. It is also
expected that the SIGMAA will provide a means of
communicating needs and concerns for the Committee's
consideration. To facilitate this communication in
both directions, it is expected that MAA
representatives will join the SIGMAA and that SIGMAA
officers will attend the meetings of the Committee.
This SIGMAA will also aim to contribute to the work of
other MAA committees whose charges concern statistics
education. Examples include the Committee on the
Undergraduate Program in Mathematics and the Committee
on Professional Development. This SIGMAA will also
seek to work closely with the analogous group within
the American Statistical Association - its Section on
Statistics and Data Science Education, and with similar groups
committed to statistics education within other
organizations.
- b. No activity of this SIGMAA, including
publications, shall be represented as coming from the
MAA at large, but rather from this SIGMAA, unless such
activity and representation have been approved by the
Executive Committee of the MAA. c. Reports of this
SIGMAA's activities shall be included in an annual
report submitted by the SIGMAA to the MAA Committee on
SIGMAAs, with copies to the chair of the Coordinating
Council to which the SIGMAA is assigned.
