Providing learning and reflection opportunities to develop in-service CS teac...Mark Guzdial
Meeting the Challenges of Growing CS Teaching:
How we provide opportunities to in-service teachers for reflection with feedback?
Disciplinary Commons for Computing Education provides one model with an emphasis on community.
How do we influence the development of CS teacher identity?
The important factors we can influence are (a) a teacher community and (b) clear definitions of what is CS.
How do we provide Computer Science and Computer Science PCK learning opportunities in-service?
We are building and testing an ebook to meet teachers’ needs.
A brief, slightly different look at engaging customers, and the effective use of opening statements. (An example of materials I authored and presented as District Training Lead - Dallas South, Takeda Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.)
"Wow, wow, wow!! It has been quite some time since I have been so impressed with an item passed along to me! From someone that is not a reader, you engaged me with the first sentence and I was hooked! I will gladly pass this along to my team with appreciation to Stephen for creating it ... you certainly achieved high-level engagement with this one!" - Senior District Manager, Corpus Christi

VL/HCC 2015 Keynote: Requirements for a Computing Literate SocietyMark Guzdial
I. Our Job: The first computer scientists set the goal to achieve a Computing-Literate Society.
II. Challenges to Achieving a Computing-Literate Society
Access and Diversity
Inverse Lake Wobegon Effect
Unanswered research questions of policymakers
III. Inventing New Kinds of Computing Education
Story #1: Contextualized Computing Education.
Story #2: Understanding the Needs of High School CS Teachers.
We share a vision of a society that is able to express problems and ideas computationally. Andrea diSessa called that *computational literacy*, and he invented the Boxer Programming Environment to explore the media of computational literacy. Education has the job of making citizens *literate*. Education systems around the world are exploring the question of what should all citizens know about computing and how do we provide that knowledge. The questions being asked are about public policy, but also about what does it mean to be expressive with computation and what should computing users know. The answers to these questions have implications for the future of human-centric computing.
Critiquing CS Assessment from a CS for All lens: Dagstuhl Seminar PosterMark Guzdial
Poster presented at the Dagstuhl Seminar "Assessing Learning in Introductory Computer Science" (http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/program/calendar/semhp/?semnr=16072). I argue that we have to consider what the learner wants to do and wants to be (i.e., their desired Community of Practice) when assessing learning. Different CoP, different outcomes, different assessments.
