Subject: 2023 State of Computer Science Education
Understanding Our National Imperative
This annual report on K-12 computer science in the United States provides an update on national and state-level computer science education policy, including policy trends, maps, state summaries, and implementation data.
How to Use This Report
This report is intended to serve as one component of your toolkit for change efforts and strategic planning. Pairing the data in this report with the perspectives of diverse leaders and advocates within the local context is a powerful way to develop or revise your state advocacy plan. As you review your state's data in this report, we suggest that you consider the following questions:
- Audience: Educators, policymakers, industry leaders, and community members have different roles in expanding computer science education.
- How will you tailor your message to each audience?
- Who needs to know about this data and why?
- How will you share the data with specific audiences in a manner that recognizes their unique contributions and invites them to participate in computer science equity efforts?
- Advocacy: Consider the opportunities that all students currently have to access computer science and ways to broaden participation for all students. Increasing diversity in computer science requires that advocates comprehensively understand which students are underrepresented and the root causes for these disparities.
- How will you use the data in this report to make sense of disparities in computer science? What actions will your team take to address the disparities highlighted in the data?
- How will you engage individuals from underrepresented populations to help develop strategies for mitigating disparities in access and participation?
- How might the data in this report advance policy adoption and implementation in your state?
