Welcome
The CAL-MSCS vision is to ensure that each and every California educator experiences the professional learning and support they need to provide a high-quality mathematics, science, and computer science education for all California students.
The California Mathematics, Science, and Computer Science Partnership (CAL-MSCS) is a comprehensive, multi-agency system designed to provide a sustainable, impactful professional learning infrastructure for mathematics, science, and computer science educators from across the state.

The Pieces of a California CS Standard
DESCRIPTIVE STATEMENT Different algorithms can achieve the same result, though sometimes one algorithm might be more appropriate for a specific solution. Students examine different ways to solve the same task and decide which would be the better solution for the specific scenario. |
Concept
Practice(s)
Compare and refine multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which is the most appropriate. |
California K-12 Computer Science Progression Chart
Computing Systems
Individual components work together to accomplish a task
Networks and the Internet
Provides voice, facilitates connections with others
Data and Analysis
Collects, stores, categorizes info,
fuels inference
Algorithms and Programming
Breaks down complex tasks into step by step instructions, representations
Impacts of Computing
Promotes empathy, fosters inclusion
