2. Objectives Attendees will be able to: 1.Explain why increasing CS opportunities are important for students, parents, CPS, and the nation. 2.Describe the CS for All course package and professional development model. 3.Comprehend the partnership timeline. 4.Understand the commitments required to make the partnership successful.

3. This is important _____________________________________

4. Code.org launch: changing the discussion  Short film starring Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, will.i.am, Chris Bosh, many others.  Directed by Lesley Chilcott (An Inconvenient Truth)

5. A Student’s Perspective _____________________________________

6. “STEM” (science, tech, engineering, math) We all know the United States is falling behind in “math and science”. That’s an old story. For decades we’ve tried and failed to fix it. But this old story masks a new and possibly bigger problem…

7. 2012 High School A.P. Enrollment Exposure to CS leads to the best-paying jobs in the world. But it’s only available in 5% of high schools Exposure to CS leads to the best-paying jobs in the world. But it’s only available in 5% of high schools Source: College Board Only 18% of these are girls. Only 8% students of color

8. The job/student gap in computer science Sources: 2013 AP exam results, College Board, Bureau of Labor Statistics

9. 1,000,000 more jobs than students by 2020 Sources: BLS, NSF, Bay Area Council Economic Institute * Each software job supports 4.3 new neighborhood jobs!

10. This isn’t just about tech companies or jobs  67% of software jobs are outside the tech industry – in banking, retail, government, entertainment, etc  Besides, we need ALL our children prepared for the 21 st century “Knowledge of computer programming is as important as knowledge of anatomy when it comes to medical research or clinical care” Larry Corey, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center

11. CPS on the Forefront  Grassroots effort from coalition of CPS teachers, administrators, and university partners  History of successful PD for CPS teachers in a wide variety of schools  Teaching practices aligned with REACH framework

12. What Code.org offers Celebrate, Advocate, Educate _____________________________________
