I would greatly appreciate it if you disseminated the following information regarding EarlyStatistics, an in-service professional development course in statistics education targeting European elementary and secondary school mathematics teachers.
Thank you in advance for your support,

EarlyStatistics Comenius Course The course “EarlyStatistics: In-Service Training in Statistics Education” will be offered three times during 2011. This course is the main outcome of the EU funded Socrates-Comenius project Enhancing the Teaching and Learning of Early Statistical Reasoning in European Schools (Ref. No: 226573-CP-1-2005-1-CY-COMENIUS-C21, 2005-2008). It is offered as a LLP Comenius in-service course targeting European elementary and secondary school mathematics teachers. The course aims at helping teachers improve their pedagogical and content knowledge of statistics through exposure to innovative educational tools and resources, and cross-cultural exchange of experiences and ideas.
The following three sessions of the course have been planned for 2011. • Session 1: Nicosia, Cyprus; May 22-29, 2011 • Session 2: Nicosia, Cyprus; July 17-24, 2011 • Session 3: Nicosia, Cyprus; Sept. 11-18, 2011
The above mentioned course editions are included in the LLP Comenius Training Database, therefore individuals interested in attending the course can apply for a Comenius (school education) mobility grant to cover both the course fees and accommodation and subsistence costs. In order to do so, they should contact the Lifelong Learning Programme National Agency in their country.
Please be aware that to apply for Sessions 1 and 2 of the course, the deadline to request a LLP grant from their National Agency is the 14th of January 2011. The deadline to apply for a LLP grant for Session 3 of the course is the 29th of April 2011.
Detailed information about the course can be obtained from the LLP Comenius/Grundtvig Training Database, Course Reference Number: CY-2011-070-003. http://ec.europa.eu/education/trainingdatabase/search.cfm
Although the language of instruction is English, participants from Spain and Greece could still participate even if they are not fluent in English, since all the course material will also be available in their national language.
