The Quantitative Literacy Project, sponsored by the American Statistical Association will promote the teaching of statistics in the K-12 mathematics curriculum by providing detailed curriculum frameworks; by training 240 middle school and high school teachers to implement these frameworks using carefully planned strategies which are supported at the local level; and by using materials and methods collected and tested by the participants. Advice will be obtained from a group of mathematics supervisors, district mathematics coordinators and experienced teachers of statistics. This group will meet at a Supervisors Conference for three days in order to define the scope and sequence of topics and address the related needs of materials development for teacher training. With the framework in place a five-day model teaching program will be developed in one contiguous geographic region in which a support network can be developed. This network, supported by the state supervisor will include 20 "master" teachers of middle school mathematics, 20 "master" teachers of high-school mathematics, local statisticians from universities and industries, and mathematics education professors. Each teacher will be selected from a school which will assure that a unit on statistics can be taught in the fall term, and will allow the master teacher to attend six follow-up two hour discussion groups every two weeks. In the second year of the project five additional institutes of 40 teachers will be hosted by resource statisticians. At the end of the third year, when the follow-up and evaluation are completed, the project should produce: A list of resource persons, including teachers of statistics, statisticians at universities and in industry, and mathematics educators; materials to conduct in-service training in statistics; a manual on how to teach basic topics in statistics; computer software for all basic topics; references for topics not covered by Quantitative Literacy materials; curriculum materials that cover all basic topics; a detailed scope and sequence document for teaching statistics, grade K through 12.

由美国统计协会赞助的定量素养项目将通过提供详细的课程框架来促进K-12数学课程中的统计学教学；培训 240 名初中和高中教师，利用地方一级支持的精心规划的战略实施这些框架；并使用参与者收集和测试的材料和方法。 将从一组数学主管、地区数学协调员和经验丰富的统计学教师那里获得建议。 该小组将召开为期三天的监事会议，以确定主题的范围和顺序，并解决教师培训材料开发的相关需求。 框架到位后，将在一个连续的地理区域制定为期五天的示范教学计划，并在其中建立支持网络。 这个由国家主管部门支持的网络将包括20名中学数学“特级”教师、20名高中数学“特级”教师、来自大学和行业的地方统计学家以及数学教育教授。 每位教师将从学校中选出，以确保秋季学期可以教授一个统计单元，并允许主教师每两周参加六个后续的两小时讨论小组。 在该项目的第二年，资源统计学家将主持另外 5 个由 40 名教师组成的机构。 在第三年年底，当跟踪和评估完成时，项目应产生： 一份资源人员名单，包括统计学教师、大学和工业界的统计学家以及数学教育工作者；进行统计在职培训的材料；关于如何教授统计学基本主题的手册； 适用于所有基本主题的计算机软件；定量读写材料未涵盖的主题的参考文献；涵盖所有基本主题的课程材料； K 至 12 年级统计教学的详细范围和顺序文件。
