Excellent work! You now have strategies to help students move from data analysis (Module 3) to drawing valid, appropriately confident conclusions (Module 4). These interpretation skills are essential for scientific thinking and informed citizenship.
Remember: Interpretation skills develop through practice with feedback. Create many opportunities for students to make claims, defend them with evidence, and refine their reasoning based on discussion and reflection.
Quick wins to try this week: Choose one interpretation activity from your action plan and practice the evidence-based claim structure with your students!
In our final foundation module, Visualization and Communication, we’ll explore how to help students share their data stories effectively with different audiences through clear visualizations and compelling narratives.
