Admin: You know the saying "Maslow before Bloom"? The teacher version of that is "PD AFTER room." It is really tough to focus on any PD, no matter how valuable, when we know there is a mountain of furniture stacked in a corner of our room. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

So proud of my CSTA family representing us all at the White House speaking about CS, AI and education.

California passed a new law that will mandate K-12 students to learn media literacy as part of their modules plan. The bill is designed to help students develop skills in identifying false information online amid a worrying rise in distrust in the media.

"It's the hardest job you'll ever love." Teaching can be a challenging career - but also one that's immensely rewarding, as STEAM coordinator & educator Louise explains. #WednesdayWisdom

I sat down with experts at the intersection of technology and society who provided a range of perspectives on AI’s enormous promise and risks. In seizing this moment of technological change, we also need to manage the risks. My Administration is on it.

% of AP Computer Science Principles students earning each point on the Create project (which is 30% of the AP score): Program Purpose/Function: 59% Data Abstraction: 72% Managing Complexity: 37% Procedural Abstraction: 46% Algorithm Implementation: 47% Testing: 41%

The most challenging question types for this year’s AP Computer Science Principles students, overall, were code analysis questions, on which the average score was 60%.

This year’s AP Computer Science Principles students scored very high on exam questions about systems and networks; a massive 19% answered all such questions correctly.

The 2023 AP Computer Science Principles scores: 5: 12%; 4: 23%; 3: 33%; 2: 20%; 1: 12%.
