I'm writing to inform you about the free, virtual CSForNY State Summit on Thursday, 9/28, 2023 from 4pm - 7pm and Friday, 9/29, 2023 from 9am - 2pm to help New York K-12 educators and leaders increase access to computer science education for all students.
The CSForNY State Summit is an opportunity to build and amplify momentum to reach all students with quality, equitable, and sustainable K-12 computer science education programs. Participants will hear from schools and districts who have fully implemented our state standards, New York's CS teacher certification programs, resource providers, and leaders from across the state.
Register for the 2023 CSForNY State Summit here on the summit website.
We are also looking for presentations, including:
1) School Showcase: Presentation about how you developed your school's CS program.
2) Partner Showcase: Presentation by a nonprofit, company, or other provider.
3) CS Teacher Preparation Programs: Presentation by a university CS teacher preparation program
4) General Sessions: Other sessions that you believe that New York's K-12 computer science education community might find helpful (planning, pedagogy, CTE topics, measuring success, culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogy, etc.)
Apply to present at the 2023 CSForNY State Summit before 6/9 here on this form.
Every New York student deserves access to computer science regardless of zip code, race, gender, or economic background. I hope that you'll inform others about this great opportunity. We have provided these email + social media templates for your outreach.
Reach out if you have any questions!
