Quantitative Literacy and Preparing Students for Statistics

3/12/2020

I think our Stat Prep book is the best book on the market to get students ready for statistics. But instructors are having a hard time finding a place for it in their curriculum; they don't have a course with Stat Prep in the title.  The book is really a Quantitative Literacy book, but when instructors look at it from that perspective the topic list doesn't match the topic list they are familiar with.  But the book teaches quantitative literacy, number sense, and critical thinking better than any book I have seen.
    Here is my question: How do we find that group of instructors that can adjust their curriculum to fit this book into it?  We know this is the best book for teaching quantitative literacy while getting students ready for statistics. How do we get instructors to take a chance on it when they don't have a Stat Prep course and their topic list for Quantitative Literacy doesn't match the list of topics in the book?
