CSTA
The CSTA 2019 Annual Conference is coming up quickly! Will you be joining us from July 7–10, in Phoenix?
Don't miss out on:
- Teacher and New York Times reporter Natasha Singer on what she learned while developing and teaching a tech innovation ethics course to high school students.
- CS educator, researcher, and Exploring Computer Science co-creator Joanna Goode on how teachers can shift the discussion beyond just making computer science available to students and toward preparing teachers to act for equity with intention in the CS classroom.
- Four days of classroom content created by and for K–12 teachers.
Secure your spot for the conference before it's too late!
The Advocate (commenary)
Bobby Schnabel, a contributor for The Advocate, writes: "A few weeks ago, a group of organizations (Omidyar Network, Mozilla, Schmidt Futures and Craig Newmark Philanthropies) announced the winners of the 'Responsible Computer Science Challenge.' What is this challenge? It's an initiative to integrate content about ethics and responsibility into undergraduate computer science curricula and pedagogy in U.S. colleges and universities — clearly a timely and important topic. But in most cases, you as a reader of this CSTA blog are involved with K-12, not university, computer science education. So why should the Responsible Computer Science Challenge matter to you?"

In following a national trend, Wyoming passed legislation last year adding computer science standards to its K-12 curriculum, but the state has become embroiled in conversations about the rigor of the learning requirements for students and the instructional burden expected to be placed on teachers. Now, the state is rushing to approve new standards everyone can agree on and train its teachers before a fall 2022 implementation deadline.

It was Spirit Week at the Digital Pioneers Academy, and in fitting with the day's "sports" theme, Mashea Ashton, the school's founder and principal, had arrived wearing a red-and-white Devante Smith-Pelly jersey. Ashton's decision to don this particular jersey — that of a local celebrity, a Washington Capitals hockey player and Stanley Cup champion — was not made lightly, and she wanted her middle schoolers to know why.
