My main goal as a teacher of statistics is to produce students who are statistically literate; that is, students who understand statistical concepts and are able to apply what they learn to solve real-world problems they may encounter in the future. I want to give my students enhanced employability, that they may enjoy successful careers and make a valuable contribution to society as a whole. Therefore, effective teaching to me is that which provides the student with “usable knowledge”, knowledge that is connected and organized around important concepts, supports understanding and is transferable to other contexts.
