Why Become an IDS Partner?
Partnering with us brings your teachers a transformative professional development experience that equips them to implement cutting-edge data science education in the classroom. Our program prepares teachers to bring real-world data analysis to life for students by offering hands-on training with the IDS curriculum and innovative tools like RStudio and Participatory Sensing. By participating in our professional learning, educators can create dynamic, collaborative learning environments that prepare students to think critically and solve problems in a data-driven world. Together we can revolutionize K-12 education and inspire the next generation of data-savvy leaders!
You can review the curriculum and also “test drive” the technology via our sandbox on a limited, 2-week trial basis, but actual classroom implementation requires training and technical support, both of which are currently only offered to IDS partners on a fee-for-service basis. Our technology team cannot provide ongoing support for non-partnership teachers.
