Intervention Summary
Supporting Teacher Enactment of the Probability and Statistics Standards (STEPSS) is a program that targets grade 7 students' understanding of statistics and statistics instruction. The STEPSS program uses an instructional design model for teaching statistics that involves students in four phases of statistical investigation: formulating a question that can be answered by data, designing a plan to collect data, analyzing data, and interpreting results. The program includes curriculum materials and professional development opportunities for teachers to support implementation of state probability and statistics standards.

Data Sample by Population
These charts show the characteristics of the student populations studied. When assessing programs, you may want to prioritize interventions that yielded success in a similar demographic environment as your school or district.
The subgroup population data as studied here are not available. That means that while this study may work well for your setting, we cannot say based on the published study and results from our system’s reading of that study what the school/district subgroup characteristics were when evaluated here.
