60% of U.S. public high schools now offer foundational computer science courses. But enrollment is still low, with only 6.4% of students participating. CSTA's own @BTwarek breaks down this year's #StateOfCS2024 findings on The Voice: https://t.co/wDvZhgm5BM

Welcome to Week 2 of the #ReimaginingCS Series! This week, we look at the foundational content that defines essential computer science learning outcomes for all students. Check out Chapter Two of the Reimagining CS Pathways Report at https://t.co/Vdzl4hIAbm.

Together with @CSEdResearch @TheOfficialACM @codeorg @CollegeBoard @CSforALL and @ECEP_CS, we are working toward the common goal of educating students to become informed citizens and confident creators of content and digital tools. #ReimaginingCS at https://t.co/Vdzl4hI2lO

As society increasingly relies on computing technologies, the need for early, universal CS education becomes more important. In the newest Voice article, Bryan Twarek explores the essential content outlined in the #ReimaginingCS report. Read now: https://t.co/NmsTPXxB8T

It's time to reimagining computer science education because every student needs to be prepared for a world powered by computing. Learn about what CS content is essential for all students to learn and how it can be organized in pathways at https://t.co/1z4xtb8skL.

The K–12 CS Standards writing teams had their first in-person meeting this week in San Fransisco to begin the writing process! Learn more about the CSTA K-12 Standards revision process here: https://t.co/vKdEE7Dwf2 #ReimaginingCS

Scaling MENTORS in CS is an NSF funded CSTA project that pairs experienced and novice CS educators. These pairs engage in mentoring activities to create, enhance, and improve computer science teaching practices over the course of the 24-25 school year. https://t.co/HZhovMyy98

💯 In our recent https://t.co/1z4xtb8skL project, community consensus identified impacts and ethics as the top priority for foundational computer science education in k-12.

Tech and education leaders agree: In an age of AI, computer science education is more important than ever. See guidance for CS classrooms we've created in partnership with #TeachAI: https://t.co/qHkBkrgiHd. Let’s #TeachAI

Advice from recent high school grads to K-12 CS teachers: ▶️ Always be patient. Encouragement makes a huge difference in persistence. ▶️ Keep going. Your job is so hard, often thankless but so important. We need you. Thanks to @drabigailjoseph for moderating at #CSTA2024!

Thank you so much to @dan_blier for your incredible service as the @csteachersorg Board of Directors chair. And, so excited for #CSTAEquityFellow @ChariosiTeach’s leadership as the current board chair. #CSTA2024

Thank you to #CSTAEquityFellow Daaiyah Cooke for encouraging CS ed teachers to: “Be the force, the advocate, and continue to unearthing the joy in education.” 💜 #CSTA2024

We need to do better with accessibility in K-12 CS education. At #CSTA2024, @AndreasStefik of @unlv shares suggestions to make CS more accessible to students with disabilities: 1️⃣ Ed: only use accessible tech 2️⃣ @NSF: consider accessibility in grant reviews 3️⃣ tech: do better

I love what @MehranSahami said about what really transforms CS and education. It's the fantastic teachers that give and give that transform education!

“It’s okay to go slow to go fast.” We don’t have to feel compelled to give into the push to immediately integrate AI in K-12 education. @kipglazer urges us to be thoughtful, deliberate. #CSTA2024

So honored that @natashanyt volunteered her time to moderate this keynote panel on teaching CS in an age of AI. She prefaced the discussion with some of her @nytimes reporting on the impact of AI and CS in K-12 schools. This one is particularly haunting: https://t.co/YgG3kZgWwC

At #CSTA2024, @CCrawfordTech says the purpose of CS education is not just critical thinking, not just learning to program, but using CS for social good and to have a better life.

We don’t teach computing in order to create an army of programmers. We teach computing because it’s a way of thinking, a way of solving problems. —@MehranSahami at #CSTA2024
