TXCSLN is a community of practice for CS administrators and teacher leaders to discuss the most pressing challenges in CS education. Meetings topics have centered around building CS pathways, policies that impact diverse CS enrollment, and strategies for retaining CS teachers. TXCSLN provides scholarships for up to 40 members to attend the annual in-person meeting in conjunction with the WeTeach_CS Summit. This in-person experience allows participants to foster stronger connections with their peers and dive deeper into key issues facing CS education leaders while also connecting with the broader CS education community beyond administrators.
