Hosted in Partnership with the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) and the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology (ABI), the 2010 K-12 Computing Teachers Equity Workshop will be held in Atlanta, GA on Saturday October 2, 2010. I participated in this workshop in 2009, and I highly recommend it to any computing teacher seeking strategies, allies, and support in reaching all students. Scholarships are available, but you must apply soon!
This workshop will convene K-12 computer science teachers who work with under-represented populations of students at the Grace Hopper Celebration to:
- Instigate a discussion of equity and computer science curriculum;
- Create knowledge sharing opportunities on concrete solutions grounded in teachers’ articulated, specific needs;
- Disseminate these solutions to a broad audience of teachers, STEM practitioners, and interested stakeholders via workshop, Town Hall meeting and discussion of a newly released white paper; and
- Evaluate the effectiveness of these solutions in classrooms that serve under-represented student populations.
For complete details, check out the full workshop agenda. Scholarships are available which cover travel, lodging, and registration costs for this workshop and the Grace Hopper Celebration. The deadline to apply is May 24, 2010.
