How can real data help students see algebra as meaningful and powerful?
Join us at the NCCTM 2026 Western Region Conference to explore how authentic datasets, visualization, and coding can help students build modeling skills and investigate real questions through functions.

We shouldn’t remove the hard parts of learning – we should help students through them.

In our latest blog post, Jim Stigler reflects on why sustained reading still matters – especially in statistics and data science education. Complex ideas time to understand. Reading, paired with interaction and exploration, creates space for that learning to happen.

When we build shared, thoughtfully designed learning environments, difference doesn’t have to mean isolation. Cross-institution generalization isn’t just a win for machine learning. It’s an invitation to build systems that let us learn together, rather than alone.

[CourseKata @CourseKata]

Almost every educator has thought of some version of this: “But my students are different.”

Often, that’s true. Context matters. Students matter. Teaching is deeply local.

[CourseKata @CourseKata]

Using CourseKata as a shared learning environment, a sequence model trained in one institution successfully generalized to another, a result that’s rarely even attempted in education research.
