  In Roundtable Session: TED - Roundtables Wed3

Short Description

There is a current discussion around computer science teacher certification. Each state has its own standards and requirements, ISTE also has an international set of standards, and the job market has its own demands. Our goal was to analyze job announcements for computer science teachers to determine the alignment between the field and licensure programs. Our discussion will address how to improve this alignment and to better prepare computer science teachers for the job market.
