22
Computing in the Core Elevating computer science to a core academic subject in K-12 Joe Kmoch, independent technology consultant joe@jkmoch.com sySTEM NOW October 25, 2012 9/13/2012
23
Why K-12 Computer Science Education? Computer science enables innovation, economic growth and is an integral element of culture. It shapes how people interact with each other and the world around them, and it impacts jobs—financial services, health care, national defense and energy, among other fields. With skills and knowledge in this field:
24
Why K-12 Computer Science Education? Students gain a deeper knowledge of the fundamentals of computing, which—as computing becomes ubiquitous—is a critical foundational knowledge that will serve them well throughout their lives Students are exposed to a field that drives innovation and in which job prospects remain strong despite the current extraordinary economic challenges
25
Why K-12 Computer Science Education? Students gain critical knowledge and skills proven to bolster their success in higher education academic pursuits No other subject will open as many doors in the 21st Century, regardless of a student’s ultimate field of study or occupation, as computer science.
26
But there are problems... Problem #1: Many parents, teachers, counselors and schools believe there are few jobs in CS&IT in the US
27
Computing and mathematics is one of the TOP 10 fastest growing major occupational groups 2010-2020. 150,000+ job openings in computing annually. 1 in every 2 STEM jobs will be in computing in 2020. Quick Facts about Computing Jobs Through 2020 Sources: Jobs data are calculated from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Employment Projections 2010-2020, available at http://www.bls.gov/emp/.

31
Current Situation in WI In Madison area it’s 48% (meaning we can’t fill 52% of computing jobs) and only 27% in SE Wisconsin (http://www.ncwit.org/edjobsmap)
32
A solution to #1: Better and more ubiquitous materials aimed at students
33
Who’s developing such materials? Computer Science Teachers Association (csta.acm.org) National Center for Women and Information Technology (ncwit.org)...and others
34
Problem #2: There are far fewer students taking AP Computer Science Exams than all other math and sciences
35
Source: College Board, Advanced Placement (AP) Exam Data 2011, available at http://professionals.collegeboard.com/data- reports-research/ap/data. Calculus represents the combined data of Calculus AB and BC. Physics represents the combined data of Physics B, C:Electricity and Magnetism, and C:Mechanics. Computer Science represents combined data of Computer Science A and B.http://professionals.collegeboard.com/data- reports-research/ap/data High School Advanced Placement Exams 1997-2011
36
Problem #2a: Only about 20% of APCS test takers are females while females take nearly or over 50% of science and math AP exams (all but physics)
37
Problem #2b: Less than 10% of APCS test takers are students of color, another real problem for the industry’s future.
38
A solution to #2 Offer new, relevant curricula to prepare for APCS Exploring Computer Science (exploringcs.org) (AP) Computer Science Principles (csprinciples.org)
39
Problem #3: Computer Science doesn’t count for a math or science core academic subject in WI
40
A solution to #3: Discussions have just begun in WI-DPI to do this (one meeting so far) Computing in the Core at the national level
41
A solution to #3: Creation of K-12 CS Standards Focused around 5 strands Computational Thinking (CT) Collaboration Computing Practice Computers and communication devices Community, ethical, global impacts
42
...and other solutions to #3 Computer Science and STEM CS is explicitly in STEMCS is explicitly in STEM. The Department of Education has recognized computer science as a science part of STEM. This is important for applying for funds related to STEM. http://www.acm.org/public- policy/RTTT_i3_Funding_Memo_v2.pdf 42
43
Computer Science and CCSS Mathematics Incorporate CS in the Math Common Core StandardIncorporate CS in the Math Common Core Standard. This article with a statement by John White, then President of ACM, relates to the inclusion of computer science in the set of mathematics standards then being developed by Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors Association for use by all states. < http://www.drdobbs.com/move-to-incorporate-computing-in-math- cu/224200056. Actual ACM Press Release http://www.acm.org/press-room/news-releases/2010/common-core- standards-statement/ Cameron Wilson, Director of Public Policy for ACM, wrote a longer blog post with more context as to what this means. http://cacm.acm.org/blogs/blog-cacm/80686- computing-and-the-common-core/fulltext 43
44
CS, Math Standards and the Science Framework The CT core concepts and dispositions, clearly support the Standards for Mathematical Practice and the Framework for K- 12 Science Education, the basis for the Next Generation Science Standards These CT core concepts are part of the CSTA CS Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards, are deeply embedded in the proposed new APCS Principles Course and deeply embedded in standards and curricula in a growing number of countries including Britain, New Zealand, Australia, etc. A collaboration of efforts between mathematics, the sciences and computer science would better achieve both the CCSS Standards and the Science Framework.
45
Problem #4: There aren’t enough trained teachers in WI or anywhere to teach computer science
46
Problem #5: Professional Development is almost non-existent
47
A solution to #4 and #5 Discussion at DPI level Developing proposals Google: MU CS4HS (July 2012) NSF: Computing Education in 21 st Century (CE21 and CS10K)
48
Problem #6: Curriculum and pedagogy must change
49
Problem #6a: Curriculum must become broader, more inviting and more relevant (computer science is not just programming)
50
Problem #6b: Pedagogy must deal with learning styles develop teamwork and collaboration through relevant, authentic, context-sensitive projects.
