In an environment of 21st century demand from tech-hungry students, educators are largely stuck with out-of-date or insufficient training to keep up with demand. Particularly in the area of computer science, schools need more qualified teachers. Public-private partnerships are one way to address the nation-wide shortage of computer science-trained educators, and the latest comes in the form of STEMpath, a new graduate-level educator certification program that isn't quite a master's degree.

Fong Ly, a contributor for eSchool News, writes: "As educators, it's our job to figure out how to equip students with the skills they need to be well-prepared for college and careers. At Amana Academy, a public charter school that is part of Fulton County Schools in Georgia, our instructional approach calls for students to solve real-world problems using engineering design and technology. As a certified STEM school, we've tried to think outside the box when it comes to integrating tech across subjects to boost student learning."

Brown Political Review
Squeaky chalkboards and overhead projectors have been classroom staples for decades, but the landscape of public education is quickly changing. Today, teachers seamlessly incorporate computers, smartboards and tablets into their instruction.

At Vancouver Public Schools in Washington, students as early as first and second grade — and, in some cases, kindergarten and pre-K — are already learning to code. It's part of an initiative that Eddie Sawyer, Vancouver's innovative technology solutions coordinator, has been particularly invested in this year. Sawyer and his colleagues are not only reaching early learners through the coding programs, they're also reaching underrepresented populations, including students in special education.
