  Great question @Kate_Baldwin! There are a few resources that I find quite useful in the education space.

  1. https://everfi.com/insights/blog/teaching-data-literacy-skills/ - Provides insight on how educators can incorporate data into their curriculum no matter the subject area. The blog focuses mostly on K-12 students.
  2. https://guides.emich.edu/c.php?g=585266&p=4042206 - Eastern Michigan University provides teaching tools and archived video presentations.
  3. http://www.mikesmit.com/wp-content/papercite-data/pdf/data_literacy.pdf - Great whitepaper on "Strategies and Best Practices for Data Literacy Education"
  4. https://vlat.herokuapp.com/ - Visualization Literacy Assessment Test. Not really a resource on integrating data literacy into the classroom but definitely a good resource to test one's knowledge on interpreting visualizations.

  Kate - take a look at the Qlik Academic Program. Free access to data literacy curriculum and resources - with a focus on data analytics. https://www.qlik.com/us/company/academic-program

  I've seen some really helpful training content shared online for free recently:

  https://datapractices.org/courseware/ The good folks at Data.World in Austin have created open source courseware that the Linux Foundation is hosting online for anyone who wants to teach data within their organization

  https://databasic.io/en/culture/ Catherine D'Ignazio and Rahul Bhargava have created and published a set of 10 activities that allow people within organizations to begin to have a discussion about how to create a more "data-driven" culture.

  https://dataschool.com/ "The Data School by Chartio" is "a community-driven school of free web books and content written by people who work with data for people who work with data."

  https://www.preparecenter.org/toolkit/data-playbook The "Data Playbook" is a set of 65 pieces of content organized into 9 modules, shared publicly in beta version by the International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC).

  Would love to hear of others!

  I have heard from a post in a another forum that Bullet Journals are popular. Maybe this technique could be used to introduce visualisation to students. Visualising something that resonates with their own experiences - similar to Dear Data by Giorgia Lupi. Does anyone have a Bullet Journal? Looks like fun!
