The Advocate
Jennifer Rosato, a contributor for CSTA's The Advocate, writes: "I've been fortunate enough to have some great conversations about what CS teachers need to know over the last year. Stakeholder groups, including teacher education programs, state department of education specialists, CS and education faculty at higher education programs, are all working to figure out how to develop sustainable models of preparing computer science teachers to meet the growing demand for CS teachers."

Robotics education is gaining STEAM (pun intended) in classrooms across the nation, and for good reason — it's engaging, hands-on and students learn real-world concepts as they solve challenges. And as K-12 robotics education grows, so do resources for teachers to strengthen their own robotics skills and transfer that knowledge to students.

The Palm Beach Post
Florida is one of 47 states allowing computer science to count as math credit. But are these changes helping students or hurting them? In 2013, a who's who of the tech world came together to launch a new nonprofit called Code.org. The purpose of the organization was to get more computer science into schools. Billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates donated millions of dollars to the group. According to the organization's last annual report, Code.org spent more than US$91 million between 2013 and 2018. Of that amount, $6.9 million went to advocate for state legislation across the country.

The Wyoming Department of Education is one of nine entities across the country to be awarded federal grant money for career and technical education. It recently learned it will receive $489,714 over the next three years to strengthen computer science education across the state. The department will use the Innovation & Modernization Grant, a Perkins V program, to implement its Boot Up Wyoming initiative to bring computer science and computational thinking to every Wyoming classroom by 2022. To do that, WDE will create computer science micro-credentials for teachers to improve instruction in the field.

Center for Digital Education
It's well known that there's a serious shortage of workers with the computer science skills needed to fill the growing number of vacant U.S. tech sector jobs. Nationally, in 2015 (the last year the data was collected) there were over 500,000 unfilled jobs in CS fields, while only 60,000 students graduated college that year with CS degrees. To help prepare students who want to move into these positions, a growing number of states have enacted policies, with varying degrees of substance, for their schools to offer CS courses.
