Advancing Educational Equity in Computer Science

A foundational resource for educators aiming to advance educational equity in computer science.

Advancing Educational Equity in Computer Science is the product of a community of educators and researchers committed to equity-focused work. Drawing on the knowledge and experiences of educators and researchers who have laid the foundation for equity efforts in computer sceience and in education, this collective of educators, teachers, administrators, learners, and leaders are committed to engaging in critical reflection and practice with and around computing and computing education.

The guide includes a variety of materials previously developed by three individual projects as well as collaboratively created materials developed specifically for this guide. Intended to be complementary to and supportive of the materials developed with New York City public schools, the book is designed to grow over time and to be used in structured settings and as a tool for individual educators, administrators, or teacher trainers. Although it by no means covers every aspect of equitable teaching in computer science, Advancing Educational Equity in Computer Science serves as a foundational resource for any educator beginning a journey toward advancing educational equity in computer science.
