I'm am so lucky to have completed the CS courses with The City University of New York and the NYC Department of Education's Computer Education micro-credential! This program has equipped me with valuable skills to empower my students in the digital age. #edtech #computerscience #professionaldevelopment

To recognize #CSEdWeek, we sat down with WestEd expert Dr. Aleata Hubbard Cheuoua to hear insights about #CSEd teaching and learning. Listen in as she describes what educators need to know to help students understand computing and technological advancements. #ComputerScience

Reimagining the Computer Science Classroom Every student needs to be prepared for a world powered by computing. More students than ever will be sitting in computer science classrooms, and they’ll be facing inequities in access, participation, and engagement. The landscape has changed, and that’s why now is the time to Reimagine CS Pathways. Together with a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Computer Science Teachers Association, the Institute for Advancing Computing Education, ACM, Association for Computing Machinery, Code.org, The College Board, CSforALL, and ECEP (Expanding Computing and Education Pathways), we are working toward the common goal of educating students to become informed citizens and confident creators of content and digital tools. Our work on Reimagining CS Pathways will directly inform the CSTA K-12 Standards Revision and future updates to Advanced Placement CS courses.

🌟 How can Mastery Learning revolutionise A-Level Computer Science education in the UK? By ensuring students master each concept before moving on, this approach fosters deep understanding and long-term retention.The planning for the next academic year delivery has already started, just as this one ends. The challenges of delivering Computer Science education. 🚀 #EdTech #CompSciEducation #MasteryLearning #Alevels #UKEducation

East Union Elementary School in Iowa recently implemented a computer science program funded by the Iowa Governor’s STEM Council. This initiative introduces computer science concepts across all grade levels, helping students develop critical thinking and digital literacy. Teachers received training to ensure the program effectively equips students with skills for a tech-driven future. This emphasizes how foundational computer science education can shape future opportunities, even from a young age. It’s intriguing to see schools preparing students early for technological challenges, showing how essential these skills are becoming in everyday life. https://lnkd.in/gQy4qkYf
