What do you think the world needs to know about statistics education right now? Do you want to share your ideas with an international and inclusive network? Are you looking for a way to connect and collaborate with like-minded researchers? If so, then we want to hear from you!

We are actively seeking contributors for the RoSE Blog. Launched in December 2024, our monthly blog series aims to highlight some of the key issues facing statistics education today. The RoSE Network is a multinational group striving to learn from and collaborate with each other in order to improve statistics education from using evidence-based practice. If you have ideas you want to share with the community, writing a blog can be the perfect springboard to spark ideas, inspiration, and discussions with other readers. With hundreds of followers across our social media networks, this is a great way to engage with your audience and have your voice heard.

As a network, we are all about collaboration and creativity. With this in mind we welcome blogs from multiple contributors. We also welcome all types of contributions. You can submit a written blog, or one with plots and images to highlight your points. If you want to be creative with your work, then go ahead!

Format Guidelines

• We want to hear what you have to say, whether that be a little or a lot. That being said, we encourage all contributors to write at least 500 words, and to try not to exceed 2500 words.
