Data Advocacy for All
An open-access educational toolkit for teaching data advocacy in higher education settings.
In our data-rich world, data advocacy has become a valuable literacy practice for communicating information and manifesting change. Yet too few students are being taught how to responsibly collect and use data to advocate for social change. Data Advocacy for All addresses this curricular gap by offering a toolkit of ready-to-use teaching materials that help students:
- Think critically and ethically about data and its societal impact
- Build skills in data collection, processing, analysis, and visualization
- Create compelling stories and arguments that translate data into real-world action
Data Advocacy for All’s resources have been specifically designed for teachers and students across multiple disciplines who have no prior data science or computing experience. Inspired by three critical frameworks and centered around three literacy domains of data advocacy, this digital repository offers a toolkit of flexible curricular resources including open-access readings, activities, assignments, and lesson plans.
