In this podcast, we get to hear from some of our educators who are enrolled in CS4ALL’s EECS program. They share their thoughts on CSED in NYC and their ideas that can help move the work forward.

This episode features Deliann Morales. Deliann has been part of CS4ALL for some time, has had professional development through our Units program and also implemented computer science at her school. Her perspective as a teacher will allow other teachers and others gain a better understanding of CS implementation in the classroom.

This episode features Rosangela Villanueva. Roseangela has been teaching bilingual education in upper elementary. She has gotten training from us through CS4ALL’s SEPjr program and has moved over in being the CSEd teacher at her school.

A conversation with Dr. Chris Emdin and Dr. Edmund Adjapong. Dr. Edmund Adjapong, a rising star of education leadership at Seton Hall University, who also coordinates #HipHopEd, is also a protege of Dr. Emdin. Dr. Emdin was his high school physics teacher, then continued mentoring him as a professor when Dr. Adjapong went to grad school at Columbia University's Teachers College. We discuss their work in culturally responsive pedagogy, #HipHopEd, and critical views about how authenticity, agency, and voice must drive the movement to see Computer Science for All (Citizens). Recorded 5/3/2019.

Karen Silfa is an educator of nearly 20 years at IS143 in NYC. She joins Marc in this conversation along with researchers and administrators working to illuminate the practice of translanguaging starting with its role in computer science education. Translanguaging is a practice in education that returns the power of language to the learner.

This video was submitted to the 2019 STEM For All Video Showcase. "We're excited to share our approach to supporting students across languages to learn how to code in the context of various school subjects. We're relatively early in the process, working mostly with teachers who closely co-developed lessons with us, and are starting to explore ways to share our approach with teachers we don't directly codesign units with. Ultimately, our research is on how the technique of using translanguaging pedagogy and literate programming can support student literacies, including computational literacies." - Christopher Hoadley
