"There will be a shortage of talent necessary for organizations to take advantage of big data. By 2018, the United States alone could face a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 people with deep analytical skills as well as 1.5 million managers and analysts with the know-how to use the analysis of big data to make effective decisions."

POWERPOINT: CPA Conference Sacramento, CA March 11
Packed Full of CA & National Standards: These links highlight the Business Statistics course content that covers existing CA standards for A.P. Statistics. The more detailed College Board course outline has been highlighted as well. In a separate link, a prospective look has been taken at the recently enacted CA Common Core standards covered in Business Statistics. This course emphasizes three domains - Functions, Modeling, and Probability & Statistics.
Perspectives on Transitioning to the CA Common Core: This link provides my perspective on the new Calfornia common core reforms. These changes reorganize math instruction and direct more attention to functions, modeling, and statistics. Implementation of these ambitious reforms will almost certainly take years to complete and remains a work in progress, but they are a step in the right direction to prepare our students to achieve in the data driven 21st century. While this editorial was written in November 2012, most of these observations remain valid in my humble opinion.
