Daren S. Starnes

Daren Starnes has taught a variety of statistics courses — including Introductory Statistics, AP® Statistics, and Mathematical Statistics — for 25 years. He earned his MA in mathematics from the University of Michigan and his BS in mathematics from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Daren has been a Reader, Table Leader, and Question Leader for the AP® Statistics exam for over 20 years. As a College Board consultant since 1999, Daren has led hundreds of workshops for AP® Statistics teachers throughout the United States and overseas. He frequently presents in-person and online sessions about statistics teaching and learning for high school and college faculty. Daren is an active member of the American Statistical Association (ASA), the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC), and the International Association for Statistical Education (IASE). He served on the ASA/NCTM Joint Committee on the Curriculum in Statistics and Probability for six years. While on the committee, he edited the Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) Report: A Pre-K–12 Curriculum Framework report. Daren is coauthor of The Practice of Statistics (now in its seventh edition), the best-selling textbook for AP® Statistics, and of Statistics and Probability with Applications (now in its fourth edition), a popular choice for high school introductory statistics. Daren and his wife Judy enjoy traveling, rambling walks, jigsaw puzzles, and spending time with their three sons and seven grandchildren.

Josh Tabor

Josh Tabor has enjoyed teaching Introductory and AP® Statistics for more than 26 years. He received a BS in mathematics from Biola University, in La Mirada, California. In recognition of his outstanding work as an educator, Josh was named one of five finalists for Arizona Teacher of the Year in 2011. He is a past member of the AP® Statistics Development Committee (2005–2009), as well as an experienced Table Leader, Question Leader, and Exam Leader at the AP® Statistics Reading. In 2013, Josh was named to the SAT® Mathematics Development Committee. Josh is a member of the American Statistical Association (ASA) and was a reviewer for the ASA’s Pre-K–12 Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education II (GAISE II). Each year, Josh leads many workshops and frequently speaks at local, national, and international conferences. In addition to teaching and speaking, he has authored articles in The American Statistician, The Mathematics Teacher, STATS Magazine, and The Journal of Statistics Education. Josh is coauthor of The Practice of Statistics (now in its seventh edition), the best-selling textbook for AP® Statistics, and of Statistics and Probability with Applications (now in its fourth edition), a popular choice for high school introductory statistics. Combining his love of statistics and sports, Josh teamed with Christine Franklin to write Statistical Reasoning in Sports, an innovative textbook for statistical literacy courses. Outside of work, Josh enjoys gardening, traveling, and playing board games with his family.

Luke Wilcox

Luke Wilcox is a National Board Certified teacher who has spent his 20-year teaching career at East Kentwood High School, the most diverse public high school in the state of Michigan. His teaching as been recognized with the 2013 Presidential Award and the 2018 Michigan Teacher of the Year award, each giving him the opportunity to visit the White House to meet the president. Luke is the author of the Annotated Teacher’s Edition for The Practice of Statistics, where he offers valuable insights gathered from his own classroom teaching experiences, as well as from his participation as a Reader and Table Leader at the AP® Statistics Reading. Luke also supports teachers through a variety of in-person and online workshops, as well as being a frequent presenter at conferences. To further help statistics teachers, Luke co-developed the website statsmedic.com, which is positively transforming statistics instruction in classrooms around the country. Luke leads his students with an Experience First, Formalize Later approach to teaching statistics—in which students engage in the mathematical thinking and reasoning before being provided algorithmic formulas and definitions. In his spare time, Luke enjoys traveling with his wife and two kids, running, and eating tacos.
