Teacher Support & Development
CourseKata is more than a textbook or a curriculum. It’s a community of instructors and other experts who are inspired to improve teaching and learning; believe that there are better, more modern ways to ignite a love of learning; and are passionate about the learning outcomes of their students. And, we’re here to support you on this journey!

Study Groups
A CourseKata Study Group is the best way to get started teaching CourseKata Statistics & Data Science. You'll go through the content of the course as a student would. We will meet regularly (via Zoom), and we will work through activities together that you can also use with your students. Join a cohort that best fits your schedule.
