The original curriculum is a direct reflection of the ideas, work, and effort of several Catalysts for Change. They include (alphabetically): Ethan Brown, Jonathan Brown, Dan Butler, Tony Casci, Beth Chance, George Cobb, Robert delMas, Katherine Edwards, Michelle Everson, Jeffrey Finholm, Chris Fiscus, Elizabeth Fry, Joan Garfield, Theresa Gieschen, Meg Goerdt, Robert Gould, Adam Gust, Melissa Hanson, John Holcomb, Michael Huberty, Rebekah Isaak, Kari Johnson, Nicola Justice, Laura Le, Chelsey Legacy, Suzanne Loch, Matthew Mullenbach, Michael Nguyen, Amy Okan, Allan Rossman, Anelise Sabbag, Andrew Zieffler, and Laura Ziegler
Additionally, some of the activities were originally developed by Beth Chance, George Cobb, John Holcomb, and Allan Rossman as part of their NSF-funded project Concepts of Statistical Inference: A Randomization-Based Curriculum (NSF CCLI- DUE-0633349).
