Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

This structured poster session investigates the challenges of institutionalizing K-12 computer science (CS) education in a range of U.S. school districts. While the past five years have witnessed the exponential growth of CS education nationally, there is still a critical need for scholars and practitioners to actively collaborate to ensure that this wide range of CS initiatives is rooted in equitable, rigorous, and ultimately sustainable practices. The proposed session presents a range of projects that address this ongoing challenge, each based upon existing collaborations between researchers and practitioners and utilizing a variety of established methodologies, including Research-Practice Partnerships, Networked Improvement Communities, and Participatory Knowledge Building.
