The goal of the proposed working group is to create a space for those interested in researching issues around the teaching and learning of statistics to meet, discuss, synthesize past research, and begin to strategize ways of leveraging multiple perspectives and expertise to identify and address current challenges in statistics education. The nature of statistics being a methodological discipline make it such that statistics education is made up of a diverse array of people from various backgrounds, disciplines, fields, interests and expertise. We propose this working group to create a space for dialogue among people with diverse perspectives to tackle important issues in the teaching and learning of statistics. Diverse perspective help to look at problems in new ways and come up with new solutions. However, we also want to pragmatically make progress towards a goal, which requires some common direction as well. To balance these tensions we frame our work in the notion of learning environments as a way of organizing past work as well as ideas for future projects into a meaningful structure. Additionally we are layering on the consideration of teachers and teaching in the design and enactment of learning environments. [For the complete proceedings, see ED606556.]
