NEW YORK, NY (December 17, 2020) – Tuva is partnering with Newsela to catalyze and bring data literacy into reading and social studies instruction.
The partnership will bring Tuva’s library of authentic, standards-aligned, real-world datasets and lessons connected to a diverse set of topics including science, history, civics, economics, global issues, current events, and more as supplements to Newsela’s leveled news articles and text sets.
Tuva's research-based, interactive, easy-to-use data and graphing tools will empower Newsela teachers and students to explore, manipulate, and analyze authentic data, learn to evaluate information sources, develop claims and use data as evidence, and build foundational data literacy as part of their reading or social studies instruction. The goal is to empower teachers to seamlessly integrate data literacy into daily instruction through accessible and dynamic content.
"We are excited to partner with Newsela to foster data literacy in reading and social studies instruction. Reading, engaging in inquiry, and thinking critically about news and information today means students need to be able to interact with, ask questions of, and analyze authentic data as part of their learning experience" said Harshil Parikh, Co-Founder & CEO of Tuva.
A selection of Tuva datasets, data and graphing tools, and related lessons will soon be available for all Newsela teachers and students.
