Why Expand CS Education?

5

creative problem solving innovative thinking cooperative learning CS teaches important, transferable skills.

Expand computer science education to all students at all schools, beginning in pre- kindergarten and extending through 12th grade.

6

SFUSD’s Plan:

PK-5

• Zero schools
• ffer ongoing CS

instruction.

• Impact: 0%
• f all PK-5 students

7

9-12

• Ten schools
• ffer dedicated

CS electives.

• Impact: 5%
• f all 9-12 students

Current State of CS in SFUSD

6-8

• Two schools
• ffer dedicated

CS electives.

• Impact: 0.5%
• f all 6-8 students

fragmented and voluntary → lack of equity and uneven quality

PK-5

• Provide instruction to all

students.

• Generate excitement

about computing.

• Develop problem solving

and critical thinking skills.

• Foster creativity and

collaboration.

8

• 9-12
• Offer introductory and

AP courses to all students at all schools.

• Double AP participation.
• Broaden participation,

to represent student population as a whole.

Goals by Level

6-8

• Provide instruction to

all students.

• Make instruction

engaging, relevant, creative, and collaborative.

• Develop strong

foundational knowledge and skills.

• Explore issues raised by

societal impacts of computing.

OPPORTUNITY PIPELINE STRATEGY

Vision

To train 100,000 low-opportunity youth to become high-level computer programmers

The Opportunity

Demand for trained tech workers Tech workforce diversity challenge #YesWeCode Opportunity Pipeline taps into hidden genius of black/brown communities

• America needs trained tech

workers: The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that there will be more than 1.4 million jobs created by 2020 that require computer science and programming skills, but only 400,000 computer science graduates to fill those jobs. Furthermore, tech workers have been estimated to earn 74 percent more than non-tech workers.

• While growth of undergraduate

programs is critical, it is inadequate to meet the growing demand for more programmers and other tech

• jobs. Also, undergraduate programs

are of little help to those already in the workforce. There is a lack of diversity in the tech sector: Earlier this year, Google reported that 70% of its employees are male and 61% are white. This is especially true for the “technical talent” areas of the sector compared to the “non- tech” roles in companies, like Facebook, Google and Twitter. Tech companies recognize that they are not where they want to be in terms of workforce diversity and inclusion.

Training Tomorrow’s Tech Workers Today

Opportunity Pipeline Strategy

• Focus on digitally-disenfranchised youth,

ages 18-25, who are job ready and trainable for careers in tech

• Focus on bootcamps to accelerate

technical skills-building

• Focus on apprenticeships to support

bootcamp graduates to thrive in a tech workforce

#YES Opportunity Pipeline Strategy First Mile

First Exposure to Computer Science

• Next-gen youth

hackathons

• Broad-based media

campaigns

Middle Mile

Tech Job Development & Training

• #YES Diversity

Fellowship to access accelerated learning programs (bootcamps)

• #YES Apprenticeships

to connect training graduates to potential employers

Last Mile

Securing a Job in Tech

• #YES Employers'

Council investing in fellowships and apprenticeships

• #YES Corporate

Advisory Board of C- suite leaders committed to #YesWeCode's vision to empower the next-generation of tech leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs

Making It Happen

Blended Learning in Secure Care Facilities

Why Blended Learning in Juvenile Facilities?

❏ Increase Student Engagement ❏ Improve Instruction ❏ Individualize, differentiate, offer real-time assessment ❏ Expand Content/Course Offerings--HS and Post Secondary ❏ Connect to job pathways/coding bootcamps ❏ Develop Digital Citizens ❏ Re-invigorate Teachers ❏ Improve Overall Institution and School Climate

Implementation Options: Classroom Device Models

Thinking Ahead

How do you want to facilitate blended/online learning in residential units? Google Apps for Education Chromebooks Desktops 1:2 + Laptop Carts iPads/Tablets
