Mentor and welcome new CS Advocates • Understand “Advocacy Space.” What are the levels/types of Advocacy and where do I fit? • Establish Personal Goals. What can I do? What do I want to do? Where do I want to be a year from now? • Develop and refine your advocacy values. Everyone should have an “elevator pitch” that articulates their beliefs and positions on CS education. • Buildregional teams. Can cohorts with like-minded goals be established so I’m not alone? • Buildcommunity resources. What can I/we contribute to a repository of resources to help others? • Develop short-, long-term goals. What should I have done within 30-, 60-, 90- days of this workshop

  13. The CSTA K–12 Computer Science Standardsas an Advocacy Tool

  14. Standards Echo Fundamental Beliefs We consider it critical that students be able to read and write and understand the fundamentals of math, biology, chemistry and physics. To be a well-educated citizen in today’s computing-intensive world, students must have a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of computing as well.

  15. The CSTA K-12 CS Standards The standards represent the body of knowledge for the discipline as it applies to K-12.
