Nurturing Leadership in Computer Programming in Middle School Latinx Students: Collaboration and Co-Facilitation

Mon, April 12, 11:10am to 12:40pm EDT (11:10am to 12:40pm EDT), Division G, Division G - Section 5 Paper and Symposium Sessions

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session presents cases of leadership development of Latinx middle school students. The symposium describes the development of this leadership from three perspectives on student participation as students were re-positioned as teachers. A group of Latinx middle school students chose to become co-facilitators in a bilingual mathematics and computer programming after-school program. Nevertheless, the trajectories of these students were very complex. This symposium presents assets and challenges that these students faced in the process of studying the curriculum and becoming co-facilitators of the [project name] curriculum. Audience in this session will actively interact with the presenters to further discuss and reflect on the approaches.
