Laura Callis

Jen McNally, a Professor at Curry College, and Laura Callis, an Associate Professor, dive into inclusive statistics education through their DISCUS-IS project. They explore how students themselves drive better learning outcomes, sharing creative teaching methods like simulation-based inference using engaging examples such as coin flips and dolphins. Their research shows promising results in closing achievement gaps and increasing student engagement. They also discuss strategies to decode complex statistics language and involve neurodivergent students in meaningful ways.
