The ASA/NCTM Joint Committee invites applications for appointment as Editor of its Statistics Teacher Network (STN) newsletter. The STN is published three times as year under joint sponsorship of the ASA and NCTM. Statistics Teacher Network is a free 8-page publication whose purpose is to keep grades K-12 teachers informed of statistical workshops, programs, and reviews of books, software, and calculators. In addition, it features articles that describe statistical activities that have been successful in the classroom. Contributions come from all levels of statistical expertise; the editor is responsible for overseeing the collecting and editing of all appropriate information to be printed. Further information about STN and copies of past newsletters are available on the ASA website at http://www.amstat.org/education/stn/index.html.
The editor would serve for three years. The appointment provides an opportunity for direct impact on K-12 statistical education through the newsletter and through ex-officio service on the Joint Committee.
Applicants should send a brief resume addressing prior K-12 involvement to Roxy Peck, chair of the Joint Committee, either electronically ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or by mail to the address below. A cover letter describing the applicant's vision for STN is also welcome. The closing date for applications is December 1. If you are not interested at the present time but know of someone who might be, please inform them about this outstanding new opportunity. Questions about this matter should be addressed to Roxy Peck. Her mailing address is Associate Dean, College of Science & Mathematics, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA 93407-9000.
