47.027 - CS for All: An Intersectional Approach to Unpacking Equity in Computer Science Education

Sun, April 7, 11:50am to 1:20pm, Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, Floor: Lower Concourse, Sheraton Hall E

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

Efforts to broaden participation in computing are addressing how systemic school structures, educator preparation, and curriculum can provide inclusive learning spaces for all students. The emerging multiplicity of scholarship in computer science (CS) education forwards diverse voices, perspectives, and positionalities, and together, provide a rich set of evidence-based narratives that can transform K-12 policies and practices. The eleven posters featured in this session bring together CS projects with varying methodologies focused on equity-oriented pedagogies and learning for all youth across the US, and each poster addresses how: (1) equity is being defined; (2) specific project and research efforts are impacting equity; and (3) efforts to inform teacher practice with attention to multimodality and diverse voices in research methodology and dissemination.
