Q: How do we grow #dataliteracy skills? A: We worked with scientists to develop the PPSTT framework to help students make sense of graphs & figures. Part of a free unit for grades 9–uni; #openaccess thanks to NSF funding to Dr. Tom Luhring at WSU 🧪 #scicomm #edusky youtube.com/shorts/zDRqw...

Our PPSTT framework 👆 focuses on making sense of data visuals. It's like an order of operations (PEMDAS) for reading a graph. There are many other complementary frameworks you should check out: 👉@mikecaulfield.bsky.social's SIFT web #medialiteracy framework clark.libguides.com/evaluating-i... 🧵1/6

Also check out @ncse.bsky.social's dataWISE #dataliteracy framework! This approach focuses especially on the "Trust" step in PPSTT, particularly in the context of a scientific claim. 2/6 ncse.ngo/datawise

Also see @bscs.bsky.social's I^2 (Interpret & Identify) strategy as another complementary approach for growing #dataliteracy. 3/6 media.bscs.org/icans/Icans_...

We also love @johnfocook.bsky.social's FLICC framework for putting a name on types of bad actor behavior and misinformation strategies (specifically for climate change). 4/6 crankyuncle.com/a-history-of...

Please add your favorite #dataliteracy frameworks and resources to this thread if we missed something! We need to employ teaching strategies that are as diverse as the methods used to disinform—in order to inoculate our students against misinformation. #scicomm 6/6
