Capacity is about whether or not there are enough resources to support and maintain high-quality CS instruction.
Capacity is about whether or not there are enough resources to support and maintain high-quality CS instruction.
Resources may include teachers, funding, and policies that make implementing CS instruction possible and efficient.

Notice that Capacity is the foundation of the CAPE Framework Triangle. That is no coincidence. CS Teachers must be committed to ongoing training; they must truly love to learn. It is from that foundation that CS Teachers are able to inspire tenacity and creativity in their students. To learn more about the standards to teach computer science, click here.
We will use the following markers as indicators of capacity.
Teacher opinion on computer science including computer science integration.
The number of teachers that are endorsed to teach computer science. To learn more about this, click here.
Training that teachers have pursued. This includes:
Attending AP trainings during the school year or summer
Participation in AP Readings.
Training through Code.org such as CS Fundamentals or CS Discoveries.
Workshops such as CS First (to learn about Google's CS First platform), Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy for training, Bootup to learn abut Scratch Programming and Elementary School CS Standards, GenCyber, TeachCyber, etc.
Attending college level courses in computer science that help earn the endorsement to teach computer science
District-wide trainings or CIT's in computer science topics
Key Conclusions:
The majority of the 378 teachers who replied to this survey in all grade levels, years of experience, and position type are positive about the idea of CS integration.
21% if our HS classrooms have attempted integration. To see the data organized by these categories, click here.
Regarding CS Trainings, 17% of our respondents have attended a training related to computer science. This is double the amount shared in 2021.
4 teachers now have the Unique Subject Area (#110) Certification to teach CS. This is an increase of 3 teachers since 2021.
