Data and Computing in K–12 Education: Foundational Competencies – A Report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

To advance national conversations about the role of K-12 education in developing students’ competencies in data and computing, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened an expert committee to conduct a consensus study that identified competencies needed for students to navigate and succeed in the changing computational landscape and described the role that K-12 education can play in the development of these competencies. The committee was asked to give particular attention to approaches and experiences that promote the success of all students.
