Byte-Size CS Blog - WEDNESDAY
#CSEverywhere - but we may not understand Computer Science, know how to make the connections for our students from CS to other subjects/careers, or know the first thing about teaching CS to our students. As an administrator, what am I looking for in a CS classroom??
Nevada has specific legislation that requires core computer science standards be taught in K-12, that CS is a requirement for graduation from high school, and coming up in the 2022-23 school year, all HS’s must offer a full year of CS and increase enrollment of females, students with disabilities, and students historically marginalized in the CS field.
There are MANY resources available to support us as we navigate the necessary steps to Computer Science Literacy that our students MUST have in the world they live in.
