Presented at the 4th International Conference on Research in Equity and Sustained Participation in Engineering, Computing, and Technology (RESPECT).
We are all in a state of information overload and often do not know where to begin. For teachers and schools/districts new to computer science, getting started can be overwhelming. We are working within a Research Practice Partnership (RPP) to try to address some of this stress rather than add to it. We are attempting to do this by creating a curated forum so that educators (from all levels of the system) can share with each other directly while working with them to efficiently and effectively navigate existing resources and opportunities in CS with a focus on how to best structure a program, a class, or a club to encourage equity and inclusion in the CS work that they do.
