| Description: | Despite the essential role that computer science plays as a driving force of innovation, computer science education in K-12 is still languishing in an educational backwater. The lack of broadly-implemented curriculum standards, appropriate and consistently applied teacher certification requirements, ongoing professional development focusing on both technical and pedagogical content, and access to grade-leel appropriate teaching and learning resources has left teacher ill-equiped to meet increasing demands for qualifications, curricula, and resources and unable to access the professional development critical to a continually evolving body of knowledge. CSTA is a membership association of more than 8000 educators dedicated to improving and supporting computer science education in K-12 by achieving the following core objectives: 1) Communications, 2) Standards, 3) Professional Development, 4) Research, 5) Opportunities, and 6) CSTA builds partnerships across all education levels and stakeholder groups to leverage best practices and share resources. |
