Teacher Preparation for Computing: A State of Affairs
Sun, April 15, 8:15 to 9:45am, New York Marriott Marquis, Floor: Fourth Floor, OdetsSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Computer science is a crucial driver of innovation and productivity in today’s technology-rich society (NRC, 2012). Yet, computer science currently plays only a minor role in high school curricula (NRC, 2007; Wilson, et. al, 2010) and “rigorous computer science is taught in too few schools by too few certified teachers” (Cuny, 2011). Increasing the role, availability, and recognition of computer science is an urgent need of national importance (Cuny, 2012). This session will discuss the multi-faceted landscape of preparing teachers to teach computer science.
