Computer science is an equity issue. We know computer science is a way of thinking that helps to solve problems. If it is not available to all, then not only will problems remain unsolved, but (worse) access is inequitable. We, as computer science teachers, are positioned to either fix this inequity or continue to foster it. In October 2019, I had the chance to sit in a room with CSTA Leadership and the nine other CSTA Equity Fellows, all committed to remedying this problem for our future students.

The global COVID-19 pandemic that has forced schools to shut down physical operations and move to online learning has, understandably, caused a fair amount of anxiety and emotional distress for students. In merely one or two weeks, teachers have moved their instructional plans online, quickly adapting lessons and identifying ways to connect with students through virtual meet-ups. Parents are often next to their children, helping them adjust to online learning and figure out how to complete assignments and schedule learning time and "time off" throughout the day.

The coronavirus outbreak has closed physical schools and pushed learning online, causing teachers to develop remote and online learning plans in as little as a couple days — but not all teachers feel prepared to meet this sudden and potentially lengthy challenge. ClassTag surveyed more than 1,200 U.S. teachers in mid-March to collect and share best practices, ideas and common approaches to remote learning. More than half of those surveyed teach in public schools (66 percent) and more than half are elementary school teachers (60%).

As schools stay closed across the country, many students and educators are adapting to a new reality of remote learning. School districts that moved the majority of instruction online had to address existing challenges — from the lack of device and internet access to looming cyberthreats on sensitive data. They also had to acknowledge and bridge the gap between teachers and technology to ensure its success.

 By now, most Americans know that pension plans in this country have a problem — put simply, many and perhaps most pension funds don't have enough money to pay the pensions they've promised their retirees. The coronavirus has already deeply affected education in K-12 classrooms. Soon, it will also affect the pensions of K-12 teachers across the country. Here's why.
