Teaching Statistics first appeared in 1979 and has been published three times a year ever since. It is published by the Teaching Statistics Trust. Teaching Statistics is intended for all those who teach or develop teaching in statistics and data science within or across any disciplines, including STEM, health, business, social sciences, and education. It is for teachers of students at any educational level, especially for those who teach school age students, or tertiary students who are building their statistical and data thinking and skills, no matter what their formal educational background. The emphasis is on good practice in teaching, consistent with the statistical and data sciences as a distinct discipline, and which reflects knowledge of statistical and data science education. Teaching contexts should be clearly identified. Contributions can seek to enrich, inform, stimulate, guide, inspire, correct, or entertain, but with accessibility to a wide audience. Research, whether educational, statistical, or in any discipline, should link with teaching practice, and teaching practice should link with the scholarship of teaching the statistical and data sciences. Formal or theoretical material should be kept to a minimum or placed in supporting information. Teaching Statistics is a refereed journal, with double-blind reviewing.
