Abstract: Abstract It is a fundamental philosophy of this book that data literacy must become an integral part of general education. To achieve this, more attention at school level must be given to skills in reasoning with real data, with a particular emphasis on key societal issues. With this aim in mind, this chapter describes the authors’ work in the ProCivicStat project, in which they designed, implemented and evaluated learning units for the upper secondary level at the high schools where they teach. In addition to sharing experiences, the authors offer conceptual, as well as process- and curriculum-oriented considerations, suggestions, and recommendations for the teaching and learning of Civic Statistics at the secondary level, taking into account didactic principles and the special educational demands involved.
