Understanding Computer Science Teacher Capacity

Published:29 June 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

Every student deserves to have a highly qualified teacher. Increasing certified Computer Science (CS) teacher capacity is essential for our region to provide enough CS teachers to sustain the current rate of CS growth. My dissertation focuses on synthesizing a high-level overview of reporting on secondary school teacher certification and student enrollment data from the academic years of 2016 through 2021.
