18	Other / Notes		In the Fall of 2015, the course will be offered on edX as a massive open online course (MOOC) for individual students and learners. It will simultaneously be offered a a small private online course (SPOC) for high school teachers to use in a blended-learning classroom setting. In the SPOC model, teachers get a copy of the curriculum, and can adjust the dates, brand it with their school logos, edit/remove/reorder items, and enroll students into their private forums, seeing messages only from students in that class. Teachers will be provided with an edX dashboard to see student progress. The course will have short videos, quizzes, lab activities, readings, discussions, and classroom activities. The course launches Labor Day 2015 a four separate 5-week courses of ~22 hours each. Leads: UC Berkeley Senior Lecturer SOEs Dan Garcia and Brian Harvey, and NC State's Prof Tiffany Barnes Main URL: bjc.berkeley.edu Main contact: bjc@bspace.berkeley.edu	Our materials reinforce core concepts from mainstream subjects like Math, Physics and more, enabling non-CS teachers to adopt our introductory materials while delivering rigorous and engaging computing content drawn from CS classes at universities like Brown, WPI, and Northeastern. Our Algebra class can be integrated into a standalone CS or mainstream math class, and aligns with national and state math standards. And since every child takes algebra - regardless of gender or background - Bootstrap is one of the largest providers of formal CS education to girls and underrepresented students nationwide. Our other modules model physics, data science, and sophisticated interactive programs, and can be integrated into Social Studies, Science, Math, Intro and even AP CS Principles courses. Teachers can mix-and-match content across various modules to fit their needs.	Zulama is cost effective. Any teacher can use Zulama. Carnegie Learning has a long history of providing stellar teacher support. Zulama courses were written by faculty from MIT and Carnegie Mellon and contain expertly crafted activities, projects, assessments, and more.	We'll let our teachers speak for themselves: https://vimeo.com/300648678	Our online learning platform has interactive courses, projects, quizzes as well as online and offline activities covering digital technologies/computer science topics. We have resources suitable for grades 1 to 12 that are aligned to curricula around the world. We also put a big focus on supporting teachers with resources, tools and training. Our team is made up of talented school teachers, academics, software developers, designers, marketers, education consultants and advocates all with the mission to make learning fun and engaging and prepre your students for the opportunities of tomorrow.	AP CS Principles was created by the College Board with a goal to broaden participation in computer science by people and groups who are traditionally underrepresented in the field. Code.org's CS Principles course has been designed to be engaging and accessible to all students, by offering opportunities throughout the course for authentic discovery and creation, and opportunities to connect and reflect on the impact of computing in the real world. The course takes more of an inquiry approach, which is also reflected in our PD.			CompuScholar's courses have been reviewed and adopted by a number of states (see https://www.compuscholar.com/schools/standards/states/) and can be used to student for industry certification exams (https://www.compuscholar.com/schools/standards/certifications/). Our material can be integrated into 3rd party LMS via IMS Global standards (https://www.compuscholar.com/schools/standards/integrations/). Examples of monthly PD webinars can be found here: https://www.compuscholar.com/schools/outreach/webinars/.	CS50 is Harvard University’s introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming for students less comfortable and more comfortable alike. CS50 for AP Computer Science Principles is an adaptation of CS50 for high schools that aligns with the AP Computer Science Principles curriculum framework. The course assumes no prior background of students, but it is rigorous by design and programming-centric, engaging students with fundamentals of computer science by way of hands-on programming projects. The computational-thinking skills that students ultimately acquire are broadly applicable. The curriculum includes all that teachers might need in order to teach CS50 in their own classrooms, including assignments, notes, slides, software, videos, and more.		Teachers do not need any background in computer science to teach the course. Teachers with backgrounds in social studies, English, art, and other areas have been very successful teaching Mobile CSP. Students can participate in 3rd party competitions such as Technovation, Congressional App Challenge and others. Local schools and cities often build other partnerships such as the one in Hartford, CT. Connecticut students who take the Mobile CSP course can apply for a summer internship in the Mobile Apps for Hartford program. Since the summer of 2014, 40 students have worked with the Hartford mayor, the Hartford Public Library, the Connecticut Science Center and local non-profits to design and develop mobile apps that serve the city and its organizations, including a Kiosk app for City Hall, a app to encourage library visits, and an app that provides a historical tour of downtown Hartford.		We love working with teachers in any capacity or format, and whenever possible, we work closely with schools and districts to design and conduct professional development to meet their needs. It’s also important to note that our resources are easy to implement, even for teachers who have little prior experience with programming, electronics, and/or robotics. Our tutorials are very step-by-step, making it easy for students to follow and for teachers to guide. We field-test all of our tutorials with both teacher groups during our professional development courses and with local schools, and we are very responsive to customer feedback - we strive for clarity and take great pains to ensure our published materials are of the highest quality.		PLTW offers students a cohesive computer science pathway from kindergarten through 12th grade. Students can seamlessly transition from one grade to the next as their interest and skill levels grow. Teachers participate in PLTW’s renowned professional development, which mixes online and face-to-face learning and empowers teachers with the skills they need to be confident teaching computer science. All PLTW programs include robust day-to-day support for teachers: teachers receive frameworks that align learning objectives to student activities, projects and problems, and middle and high school courses include standardized End of Course assessments. Schools also have access to implementation and tactical support from PLTW’s national team. In addition, PLTW has developed a wide network of university, business, and nonprofit partners that provide opportunities for students, teachers, and communities.	Situated at the Harvard Graduate School of Education			We offer support to rural schools and schools outside of tech hubs via our remote instruction model.	The C-STEM Math-ICT Curriculum and C-STEM ICT Pathway provide K-12 students with up to 13 years of hands-on integrated math and computer science education with coding in Blockly and Ch/C/C++ using Barobo Linkbot, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Lego Mindstorms NXT/EV3.

19	Testimonials / qualitative info	95% of educators who have responded to our annual survey say that online training and professional development on AWS has met or exceeded their expectations. “In my course, roughly 500 students per year utilize AWS Educate in both face-to-face and distance learning environments, and more than 20 of my peers teach with it. In my own classroom, AWS Educate has been transformative. My students work on real-world data, projects, and infrastructure that give them practical experience.” AWS Educate Member Teacher	BJC is one of the most popular CS Principles initiatives, in terms of numbers of teachers who chose to attend our PD (almost 200 through direct NSF-funded work). We have partnered with TEALS, and their 1-semester "intro" course is "BJC-lite" and there are 44 teaching it this year. It has one of the most programming-focused curricula, but using a graphical language makes hard ideas (recursion, functions-as-data) easier. At UC Berkeley, the course was the first in the school's recorded history to achieve more than 50% women!	Bootstrap:Algebra has been selected by Code.org to form the basis for their math curriculum, and by CS:NYC to be the go-to class for math teachers across New York City. Bootstrap students showed statistically significant gains on traditional, pencil-and-paper algebra problems after completing the course material.	Schools mostly teach core subjects such as reading, writing and math. They struggle to connect academic content with the real world. Zulama infuses game projects with the core subjects and bridges the gap between school and real life. We use hands-on activities to teach hard skills like programming as well as soft skills such as collaboration and critical thinking. Zulama students graduate with portfolios filled with digital art, computer games, and other meaningful artifacts that they use when applying to higher ed and career opportunities. And it's not just game design. Zulama prepares students for any high-tech/creative pursuit, from architecture to product design to engineering.		“We had a new teacher join us last year, who had no experience teaching Computer Science. She found Code Avengers immensely helpful, as did I, and before long we convinced the school to get all our grade 6-9 students using Code Avengers. I can start a whole class at one point, and allow the more advanced students to move ahead, and I can see the ones who are struggling. The kids who don’t do well at reading instructions can choose to hear them audibly through headphones, which is great. The teacher resources and class management is much easier. I can look at any part of the DT/CS curriculum and Code Avengers explains what it’s all about and how to teach it, step-by-step. Code Avengers is a complete tool - and it’s being updated and refreshed all the time.” Head of Computer Science (grade 6-12 School)	ALL 7 of the largest districts in the United States have selected Code.org as their professional development and curriculum provider for high school computer science (and so have over 110 other districts). Over 70% of teachers attending our high school PD workshops rank it the "best professional development I've ever attended."	"CodeCombat was one of the easiest programs we've piloted and student engagement was extremely high. The way the content is designed scaffold perfectly and allows students to quickly move into high level programming skills far beyond anything we could have hoped for." Steve Kong, Instructional Services Specialist, Riverside Unified School District "Never have I seen my students more engaged. Every child is feeling the success of perseverance rather than frustration.” - Lewis Smith, Romulus Community Schools "If you can name a program online, I’ve tried it and none of them match up to CodeCombat. Any teacher out there wanting to get their students learning how to code...START HERE!" - Scott Baily, Bobby Duke Middle School	Teachers rate our PD 9/10 on average. See more at https://codehs.com/testimonials	Please see Testimonials (https://www.compuscholar.com/schools/testimonials/) and a series of getting started videos (https://www.compuscholar.com/onramp/getting-started/).	All past participants have stated (via feedback forms) that they would recommend PD offering to others.	"Without Edhesive, teaching CS would have been impossible. Edhesive’s online course structure works beautifully for students of all different levels." - CS Teacher, CA	Over 600 teachers have completed Mobile CSP PD since the program’s inception in 2013. Overall, teacher and student experiences with Mobile CSP training, curriculum, and academic year support have been positive. Below information from the latest completed year of the project, 2017-2018, is shared. Over 100 teachers completed professional development in the summer and fall of 2018. Currently, over 40 teachers have volunteered to work with Mobile CSP during the 2018-2019 academic year to collect and submit research data. Teacher Data After completing the PD teachers reported that they felt confident that their Mobile CSP course in the subsequent academic year would go well. On average, teachers agree or strongly agree that the PD activities established a sense of community. Student Data Following the PD, Mobile CSP works with teachers to collect student data. Of those teachers who submitted student data for the 2017-2018 academic year, the student population on average was 49% underrepresented in computer science minorities and 48% female. On average, students tended to state that Mobile CSP increased their understanding and interest in computer science. Students also identified that computer science is challenging yet socially beneficial. Mobile CSP students performed very well on the 2018 AP CSP exam. Out of 73,732 students who took the 2018 exam, 4,031 (5.4%) were part of a course using the Mobile CSP syllabus and 76.2% of Mobile CSP students passed with a grade of 3, 4, or 5, compared to 68.9% for all students. 82% of teachers stated that over half of their total students were interested in additional CS courses. A Mobile CSP teacher reported that "From the beginning, the kids thought it was really fun. My enrollment tripled from last year to this year."	Teachers complete surveys during and post workshop addressing needs.	100% of the teachers surveyed after our training found them valuable and engaging, with approximately 60% of those teachers committing to implementation either immediately or upon securing funding for their programs. John Agostinelli, the engineering pathways coordinator for CRANE (A California CTE initiative), said “Blockly and Parallax is a perfect combo. The system works so well for differentiated instruction. Struggling students will see results early while picking up programming logic; simultaneously advanced students can toggle back and forth with the C screen to further develop their programming arsenal. Thank you Parallax for making learning so easy. Every company in the world should do customer support like you do. Parallax actually lays out tutorial sheets for every command and component they utilize. I am not talking techie lingo that doesn’t make any sense either. I am talking clear to follow instructions with examples and explanations. Simply amazing. In addition, when you call the help desk, you get to talk to a real person! Parallax robots are engaging. I once had a teacher come visit my class during our robotics section and they couldn’t believe how totally engrossed the students were into their robots. They were rushing me to get role done so they could start work, and then rushed off to get their robots, and immediately started working. All without a word from me. This visiting teacher was absolutely amazed.” Our company has been working with industry, hobbyists, and schools for over 20 years. If you talk to a roboticist or effects artist in the field, there is a good chance they know who we are and that they have worked with our products.	From the teachers who responded to post-workshop survey gave 4.8 for helpfulness on a scale of 1-5.	PLTW’s teacher professional development effectively prepares teachers to engage students in problem-based computer science courses. In a survey of Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSE) core training participants, 90% would recommend PLTW CSE training to others. Teachers with no computer science background state they leave "confident" in their understanding of the material and ability to teach the class. Moreover, national and state initiatives, such as Change the Equation and the Iowa's Scale-Up program, have endorsed PLTW programs as high-quality and ready to scale immediately.		The Riverside STEM Academy reaches out to students from across our city, providing access for underserved students to STEM education. Access without rigor, however, is a hollow promise. Stanford’s Computer Science Department provided critical teacher training and engaging curriculum. This enables me to help all students improve their logical reasoning, modeling and communication skills. I want to help every student discover the power of logic and unleash their Inner Geek. The Stanford Team helps me do this! As a busy classroom teacher, I could not have developed this course to its current level of sophistication without their help. Geeks Unite! --Michael Towne, Science Teacher, Riverside STEM Academy, Riverside Unified School District		We partner with urban, suburban, and rural high schools, whether they are public, independent, or religious; high performing or high need. 89% of our students said that the volunteers were effective in helping them understand CS (n=548). Across the board students reporting themselves proficient in a programming language went from 19% to 82% (n=800, 566).	C-STEM Success Stories: Two examples found here: http://c-stem.ucdavis.edu/about-us/success/ “Oh my gosh! I barely can contain myself...soooo fun!!! So challenging and so rewarding at the same time!!!” - Jessica Fernandez, Math Teacher, Glen Edwards Middle School, California "This was incredible. I have been to A LOT of trainings, and this was by far the best!" - Allen Thoe, Computer Science Teacher, Citrus Valley High School "I really loved this training. In over 20 years of teaching I can't remember another one I enjoyed so much." - Sandy Anderson, Math Teacher, La Sierra High School "Simply the best staff development training I have ever been to. The C-STEM curriculum is a godsend to me." - Doug Obrigawitch, Math Teacher and Department Chair, Manteca High School “As a teacher of mathematics for the past 28 years, I have to say that this is the best program I have worked with to inspire and focus on most struggling learners in Algebra.” — Susan Johnston, Livermore High School, California	–“The kids flat-out love the course, love the materials, love the hands-on, kinesthetic aspects.” - Chris –“The curriculum… It is so awesome. I feel like my students are totally prepared for taking the test tomorrow.” – Aime –“Those new to the curriculum - do not miss out on the FUN and seeing the light shine for the students.”- Dina	“The kids were able to understand pretty sophisticated concepts immediately. Normally, it would take a little while for anyone to learn the syntax and more-advanced technology of coding and animation, but with Vidcode, they were hands-on and able to create things within in minutes. I thought that it could even be an amazing learning tool for adults, as well.”
