Broadening Participation in Computing
5 Ways to Set Up a CS Framework
School administrators don’t realize the benefits of having their most dynamic teachers in computing courses because state testing requirements influence them to put their best and brightest in ELA, math, science, and social studies courses.
CAPE Framework
The framework addresses four key components of CS education: Capacity for, Access to, Participation in, and Experiences of CS education (CAPE).
Guiding Principles for Inclusive Computer Science Teaching
Empowering educators with actionable strategies to create inclusive, equitable, and transformative computer science learning environments, fostering diversity, belonging, and excellence for all students.
SCRIPT
CSforAll Consortium’s Strategic CSforAll Resource and Implementation Planning Tool (SCRIPT) framework. The SCRIPT workshops will consist of collaborative visioning, self-assessment, and goal setting exercises to expand upon the district’s CT/CS implementation
