Practical Statistics for Educators edited and maintained by Frank LaBanca, EdD
Philosophy
Quantitative statistical analyses can be intimidating for many educators pursing an advanced academic degree. The thought of computational math can sometimes trigger unwarranted fears.
Here, we approach statistics from a straightforward conceptually-based perspective. Our goal is to collaborate and provide insight for statistics that make them meaningful tools in the educational arena.
Each "module" corresponds with the topics presented each week, and will expand as the course progresses. A topical outline can be found @ [1]
