Charting the Course: Building Data Literacy and Data Science Learning Progressions

In today’s data-driven world, students need strong data literacy and data science skills—but most schools lack clear pathways to teach them. This session explores a cross-disciplinary effort by 14 organizations across five subjects to build a shared framework. Attendees will learn how structured learning progressions can improve outcomes, support AI-era readiness, and define data science’s role in CS education. Presented by: Chris Orban, Jake Koressel, Mahmoud Harding, and Tiffany Davis
