Pauline White - Developing a HS CS Course at Siena

 Pauline White, Teaching Professor of Computer Science at Siena College
 

Through Siena College’s work with teachers and administrators to develop CS education opportunities for all students, we recognized the need for a first course in CS prior to dual enrollment and advanced placement.  Through teacher and student feedback and incorporating research in equity and inclusivity in the CS classroom, our Discovering Computer Science course continues to evolve since the 2019-2020 academic year.  In this session, we will share key lessons learned in developing this course and how the course has positively impacted student AP opportunities.  

University Partnerships - Newburgh ECSD & Marist College

In the summer of 2018, the Newburgh Enlarged City School District, in partnership with Marist College received a grant to create an Early College High School (ECHS) program. Each yearly cohort of 30 students earn 26 computer science credits over 4 years of coursework. This session will navigate the ECHS program from administrative, course structure, challenges and success and how university partnerships could be cultivated for developing computer science programs in secondary schools.

TOPIC: School Counselors Role in CS

NCWIT - How School Counselors Support Computing Programs

  As school counselors we daily accept the challenge to create systemic change through our comprehensive school counseling programs.  But are we doing enough to create that systemic change in the world of work?  We understand the importance of identifying gaps within the demographics of our schools; however, many school counselors may not realize that many jobs continue to leave out large groups of students along the lines of gender and race.  In this session school counselors will understand how to affect these gaps by exposing all students to the essential 21st Century skills often found in computer science.  School counselors will come away from this session ready to level the playing field by spreading awareness of various careers and then filling those accompanying gaps.
