1 Creation of Computer Science Initial Licensure
UAteach Bryan Hill, Ph.D. Peggy Ward, Ph.D. Kim McComas, Ph.D.

2 Audience Poll Why are you here? Math? Science? CS?
Who has CS licensure in their state? Is it initial licensure or an add-on? Mandatory CS classes in high schools?

3 Overview UAteach in 5th year
Traditional licensure areas Push by Governor for CS class in every high school in the state TACT. NSF-funded grant to train in-service teachers UAteach students must add CS to other licensure areas

4 Reasons for Initial Licensure
Before, students must pick math or science major for initial licensure area Regardless of major, student takes 5 CS courses, adds UAteach minor, passes appropriate Praxis exams, recommend for initial CS licensure First “competency” based licensure instead of degree based licensure at undergrad level

5 Licensure Requirements
6 courses to meet TESS and AR teaching standards Step I & II, K&L, CI, PBI, Internship 6 courses for CS content Programming Foundations I & II, Digital Design, Programming Paradigms, Research Methods, Internship

6 Licensure Requirements (cont)
1 Education Elective Teaching Programming in Secondary Schools Nature of Science Theories of Learning Mathematics Functions, Foundations and Models 2 CS/Math Electives Computer Organization, Software Engineering, Operating Systems, Algorithms, Database Management Calculus II Functions, Foundations & Models Foundations of Geometry

7 Sausage Making Mapped TESS and AR standards to UAteach courses
Lunch with current CS students Consultation with CS undergrad curriculum committee 5 CS courses meet competencies 277 page proposal submitted for CS licensure

8 Incentives TACT $75k in CS scholarships
Integrating CS into Research Methods $75k in CS scholarships $7500 per student

9 Conclusion Opportunity Planning Proposal Hopefully a win-win
