Computer Science Educator Network
Description
As our society becomes increasingly digital, our education system must also evolve. Students need to graduate with all the tools and skills necessary to thrive in a diverse and digital society. These tools and skills include a computer science education and integrated computational thinking. Creating equitable K-12 Computer Science learning opportunities will enable our students to perform better in other subjects, excel at problem-solving, innovation, and other future-ready technology skills and increase the likelihood of college attendance.
The Computer Science Educator Network meetings are designed to connect with other regional Computer Science educators. They will meet to discuss the latest computer science news, events, and DPI updates. Network participants will reflect, stretch, and grow as they explore and discuss high-impact instructional strategies. With a focus on equitable learning opportunities, participants will share effective ways to support teachers’ planning and practices to increase student engagement and achievement.
