In these four-and-a-half day bootcamps, educators will receive hands-on training on spreadsheet skills, the same skills taught at IRE’s popular Data Journalism Bootcamps, with a focus on learning how to teach these tools in a college setting.
Topics include building data lessons into existing coursework, creating syllabi for data journalism courses, and building hands-on teaching skills. Attendees will receive IRE’s training materials and data, which can be used in their classes.
The bootcamps will be taught by IRE’s experienced trainers and college-level data journalism professors. The bootcamps are open to anyone teaching journalism at a college or university, regardless of academic title.
We recommend, but do not require:
$800 for current IRE members.
Non-members should join ($70/year for academics) before buying a ticket.
Scholarships available for educators of color include the following:
If you need to cancel your bootcamp registration, there will be a $200 non-refundable fee until one week prior to the bootcamp. Please email logistics@ire.org to request a cancellation.Â
"One of the best things about bootcamp was the cohort. They represented community colleges, public universities, private schools, HBCUs and HSIs. Some were Pulitzer Prize winners, some had lots of data experience, and some were brand new to it. Everyone shared tips, lesson plans and assignment ideas. So much of what we did in the bootcamp I can immediately replicate in my classroom. It demystified data for me, and showed me how to get my students excited about data journalism."
"It was really useful to learn this in a context for educators, rather than simply trying to pick up the skills themselves. I learned a lot of tips and ideas about how to *teach* these skills that were more useful than the skills themselves."
"This was fantastic and I would repeat the training over and over again. I highly recommend for any educator who wants to bring data journalism into the classroom."
