In recent years, the computer science education community has shown strong commitment to broadening participation in computing K-12 classrooms. Educational research highlights critical role of professional development supporting teachers attract and effectively teach underrepresented students computing. this paper we present Exploring Computer Science (ECS) model on which it is based. We also findings about impact ECS teachers' practice. As initiatives become increasingly concerned with...

Effective teaching practices for broadening participation in computer science.
A grand challenge of the computer science (CS) for all education movement is preparation thousands teachers with high quality, accessible professional development (PD) that has evidence improving teacher knowledge and pedagogical practices necessary to support learning needs diverse groups students. While regional PD programs can provide in-person opportunities, geographic time constraints often inhibit participation. This article shares findings from an online program modified existing...
This session will present the research findings to date from an 18-month study commissioned by ACM in partnership with National Science Foundation, Google, Computer Teachers Association, Microsoft, and Center for Woman Information Technology that started July, 2012, invite open discussion about them. The seeks understand national landscape of K-12 computer science (CS) professional development (PD) capacity provide high quality CS PD on a large scale. is being conducted University Chicago's...
The ECS program includes an inquiry-based college-preparatory curriculum that introduces students to the creative nature of computing, technology as a tool for solving problems, and relevance impact CS. This workshop will provide participants opportunity engage in activities from highlight six computational practices common CS Principles. We explicitly model design facilitate discussions how inquiry manifests itself practices. is appropriate K-12 educators college/university faculty who are...
The reported study investigated the impact of Exploring Computer Science (ECS) program on likelihood that students all races and genders would pursue further computer science coursework in high school. ECS is designed to foster deep engagement through equitable inquiry around concepts. course provides experiences are personally relevant. Using survey research, authors sought measure whether personal relevance students' influenced their expectancies success value for field those attitudes...
Efforts to broaden participation in computing address how systemic school structures, educator preparation, and curriculum can provide inclusive learning spaces for all students. The emerging multiplicity of scholarship computer science (CS) education forwards diverse voices, perspectives, positionalities, together, a rich set evidence-based narratives that transform K-12 policies practices. four projects featured this panel bring together CS efforts with varying methodologies focused on...

There have been calls recently to integrate social justice issues with computing and teach as a non-neutral discipline. Among many critical perspectives considered, colonialism its manifestation in is emerging lately. While we barely know about implications for secondary education, high school teachers' engagement this issue yet be examined. In paper, qualitatively analyzed the participation of 12 teachers U.S. curricular co-design sessions understand: How did relate theme colonialism? And,...
This study investigated the impact of Exploring Computer Science (ECS) program on likelihood that students all races and gender would pursue further computer science coursework in high school. ECS is designed to foster deep engagement through equitable inquiry around concepts. If course provides a meaningful relevant experience, it will increase students' expectancies success as well their perceived value for field science. Using survey research, we sought measure whether relevance...

Continued and amplified harm to marginalized communities by computing solutions is pushing education orient towards justice. Resisting requires elevating teacher voices within curricular design. We partnered with twelve high school teachers co-design revise an existing introductory program. qualitatively analyzed post-co-design inter- views answer the following: (1) How did perceive their involvement in design? (2) What design aspects of revision identify as important participate...
The COVID-19 pandemic raised awareness of the need for expanding vision how we can support collaboration across distributed communities making educators and learners.However, this raises critical questions surrounding these learners to authentically engage with practices, mentorship, skill acquisition, social interactions that sit at heart effective maker education initiatives.To end, symposium brings together experts in collaborative a distance highlight many innovations being developed...
In 1981 the APCS Development Committee recommended use of Pascal in an AP course whose first exam was given 1984.

It is often assumed that women in CS fully understand and appreciate diversity, equity, inclusion advocate for the needs of all women. However, there exist highly publicized examples computing beyond where intersection race gender (and experiences Black, Latina, Indigenous women) were ignored by White This panel convenes diverse to discuss importance challenges same-gender allyship, advocacy, activism.

In January 2016, President Obama unveiled the CS for All initiative. With all attention and publicity surrounding increased support from a variety of corners over ensuing year, it is easy to become complacent start believing that we have "arrived". During her 2016 SIGCSE keynote, Jan Cuny talked about catching wave using our advantage. This talk will focus on where go here. We caught wave; now what do ensure don't get swallowed by it? What lessons can be learned an election featured likes...
The programming language used for the Advanced Placement Computer Science (AP CS) courses and examinations will change from Pascal to C++ beginning with 1998-1999 academic year. This decision, proposed by AP Development Committee approved College Board, was made in 1994. 5-year transition period crucial defining a subset providing time high school teachers teaching CS attend professional development activities. In [1], authors appear misunderstand reasoning forces that helped define subset....
During the 2018-19 and 2020-21 school years, a research-practice partnership in large urban district engaged research development focused on creating more equitable form of credit recovery for Exploring Computer Science (ECS). The following experience report provides an overview design elements used hybrid/online ECS program presents findings from piloting course that can help inform future thinking about hybrid learning fostering equity computer science.
