Students often learn that numbers are \u003cbr\u003e objective, though data in the real world is rarely so. In fact, visualized data -- \u003cbr\u003e even from authoritative sources -- can sometimes be anything but objective. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Librarians and classroom educators need to be as fluent with quantitative \u003cbr\u003e data as they are with text in order to support high schoolers as they engage \u003cbr\u003e with data in formal and informal settings. We asked contributors to this \u003cbr\u003e volume -- experts in high school curriculum, information literacy and\/or \u003cbr\u003e data literacy -- to explore the intersections between data and curriculum \u003cbr\u003e and identify high-impact strategies for demystifying data for educators and \u003cbr\u003e students alike. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKristin Fontichiaro is a Clinical Associate Professor at the University \u003cbr\u003e of Michigan and principal investigator on the Supporting \u003cbr\u003e Librarians in Adding Data Literacy Skills to Information Literacy \u003cbr\u003e Instruction project (IMLS RE-00-15-0113-15).
