This book is a stand-alone component of the course titled "Data Literacy Level 2 - Working Effectively with Data": https://dataliteracy.com/courses/data-literacy-level-2Reading and interpreting charts and dashboards has become a daily task for all of us, but these days many of us find ourselves needing to work with raw data more and more often. The spreadsheets and databases we come across don't announce their insights to us upfront. Instead, they require us to roll up our sleeves and sift them to find what's hidden and valuable within them, like gold in a mine.Read, Write, Think Data by Ben Jones presents a tool-agnostic framework for posing powerful questions of data, preparing it for analysis, exploring what's there, arriving at the "Aha!" moment, and then turning that insight into a compelling message that will help you drive change within your organization. The process can be followed with any tool, and multiple "how to" tutorials are included within to help you learn the ropes.Praise for Read, Write, Think Data:"Want to learn how to read and use charts? That shouldn't take long. How about creating charts? There are some great tools available that have short learning curves. But extracting, understanding, distilling, and accurately and ethically communicating insights from data? That's not a trivial undertaking, but with this book, Ben will get you and your organization there a lot faster." -Steve Wexler, author of The Big Picture and co-author of The Big Book of Dashboards

This book is associated with the 'Data Literacy Level 1' on-demand online course: https://dataliteracy.com/courses/data-literacy-level-1 For most of us, it's rare to go a full day without coming across data in the form of a chart, map or dashboard. Graphical displays of data are all around us, from performance indicators at work to election trackers on the news to traffic maps on the road. But few of us have received training or instruction in how to actually read and interpret them. How many times have we been misled simply because we aren't aware of the pitfalls to avoid when interpreting data visualizations. Learning to See Data will teach you the different ways that data can be encoded in graphical form, and it will give you a deeper understanding of the way our human visual system interprets these encodings. You will also learn about the most common chart types, and the situations in which they are most appropriate. From basic bar charts to overused pie charts to helpful maps and many more, a wide array of chart types are covered in detail, and conventions, pitfalls, strengths and weaknesses of each of them are revealed. This book will help you develop fluency in the interpretation of charts, an ability that we all need to hone and perfect if we are to make meaningful contributions in the professional, public and personal arenas of life. The principles covered in it also serve as a critical background for anyone looking to create charts that others will be able to understand. "This book is clear and evocative, thorough and thoughtful, and remarkably readable: a marvelous launchpad into the world of data." –Tamara Munzner, Professor, University of British Columbia Computer Science "Everyone of us needs good data literacy skills to survive in the modern world. Without them, it's hard to succeed at work, or survive the onslaught of information (and misinformation) across all our media. Ben's book provides the necessary building blocks for a strong foundation. From that foundation, Ben's approach will inspire you to own the process of developing your skills further." –Andy Cotgreave, Technical Evangelism Director, Tableau

The vast majority of people in the world today do not receive a formal education that adequately prepares them for the level of data literacy required of them in their careers and by their communities. As a result, many are being left behind by the transition to data-driven dialogues and decisions all around them, and they're seeking ways to break down the barriers that are preventing them from participating. Data Literacy Fundamentals covers foundational topics such as the overall goal of data, various ways of measuring and categorizing the world, five different forms of data analysis and when they apply, pros and cons related to how we display data in tabular or graphic form, and the way teams work together to convert data into insight.This book has been written for anyone who is just getting started with data and who wants to feel more confident in their understanding of what it is, what it isn't, and what it's used for. This invaluable resource will cure you of your "dataphobia", teach you the basic concepts of data, and set you on a path of learning that will ultimately result in fluency in the language of data.

Drowning in Data? outlines best practices for ongoing assessment that help you both plan instruction for your students and determine how much and how well they are learning. Mary Shea, Rosemary Murray, and Rebecca Harlin offer an overarching framework for assessment as well as a specific implementation plan. CARP (Collect, Analyze, Report, Plan) is a clear, concise assessment system that frames the goals and objectives of assessment, while TWIN is a specific portfolio-based means to show evidence of Thinking, Work samples, In-the-classroom benchmarks, and Norm-referenced or other standardized achievement testing. Together, CARP and TWIN simplify assessment by breaking it down into manageable chunks, while, at the same time, making information readily available to plan your teaching or substantiate student achievement.

'A statistical national treasure' Jeremy Vine, BBC Radio 2 'Required reading for all politicians, journalists, medics and anyone who tries to influence people (or is influenced) by statistics. A tour de force' Popular Science Do busier hospitals have higher survival rates? How many trees are there on the planet? Why do old men have big ears? David Spiegelhalter reveals the answers to these and many other questions - questions that can only be addressed using statistical science. Statistics has played a leading role in our scientific understanding of the world for centuries, yet we are all familiar with the way statistical claims can be sensationalised, particularly in the media. In the age of big data, as data science becomes established as a discipline, a basic grasp of statistical literacy is more important than ever. In The Art of Statistics, David Spiegelhalter guides the reader through the essential principles we need in order to derive knowledge from data. Drawing on real world problems to introduce conceptual issues, he shows us how statistics can help us determine the luckiest passenger on the Titanic, whether serial killer Harold Shipman could have been caught earlier, and if screening for ovarian cancer is beneficial. 'Shines a light on how we can use the ever-growing deluge of data to improve our understanding of the world' Nature
