CourseKata for College

Students don’t need to be math or CS majors to access modern statistics and data science. We’re used across disciplines to build in-demand skills and practical knowledge.

CourseKata for High School

Accessible to all students, our curriculum serves a variety of math pathways and offers foundational learning of statistics and data science.

Why CourseKata

Modern, Comprehensive & Approachable Curricula

  • CourseKata helps teachers and instructors create student-centered, engaged, and active learning communities.
  • Students practice their understanding, grasp concepts, and find relevance in real world learning scenarios to help knowledge transfer to new situations.
  • We believe that a class should experience the “story” of the curriculum together. That’s why we develop textbooks that work for students at all levels. 
Why CourseKata

Innovative Technology to Empower Student Success

  • The online teacher interface gives real-time access to student progress and tools for easily distributing, collecting, and grading assignments. 
  • CourseKata seamlessly fits into an educator’s LMS flow. 
  • Through our tech platform, researchers access deidentified student data to study the effectiveness of the curricula and improve the textbooks.
Why CourseKata

A Continuous Improvement Movement

  • Researchers, curriculum designers, instructors, and students work together to remove the silos around curriculum development. 
  • Our team of learning scientists leverages individual insights from teachers — and student response patterns — to continuously improve the effectiveness of materials.
  • CourseKata is more than a textbook. It’s a community of educators inspired to improve teaching and learning for all students.

This is an incredible curriculum, community, and set of resources, with options for all levels, for anyone who teaches intro stats and wants to teach students how to work with real data using a language like R. As someone who has been teaching with both their high school and college-level intro materials for the last two-and-a-half years, [blue]I can't recommend CourseKata enough[/blue]!
