So honored to join Seth Freeman and Shannon Marimon in Las Vegas, NV for Global CS Ed Con!
I have spent the past two days sharing and learning from amazing CS educators, policy advocates, and district leaders from across the US. I am in awe of the amount of passion and creative thinking that can happen when inspired people assemble together. I felt honored to take part in this first-of-its-kind Global CS Ed Conference!
Some things you must know:
1) There are CSTA Educator Standards - these are the things CS Teachers need to do well. You should check them out and review them! Do this HERE.
2) CS For All has created SCRIPT, a support system complete with RUBRICS and RESOURCES to support districts to come up with a plan for themselves.
3) CT CSTA and CSTA are here for you. Please join us at meetings! We cannot wait to create and share more ideas in person!

Some key takeaways:
1) We all need to find our way to contribute and move CS forward locally, statewide, and nationally.
2) Teamwork makes the dream work - if we work together, each of us using our skills and improving our weaknesses, we will get CSForAll to be a reality!
3) We need (and there are many concrete examples of these!) to have measurable ways to determine success, communicate needs, and support teachers and districts. I learned of supports that I did not even know existed!
Cannot wait to tell you more at our next meeting!
