Event Description

What can Counselors and Administrators do to increase student access to Computer Science classes and career pathways?

Counselors are influencers and gatekeepers. They counsel and encourage students in their education and career aspirations, advise on course selections, and expose students to occupations through career fairs and internships. If today’s students are to get the exposure and encouragement they need to pursue computing, it is essential that counselors have the knowledge and resources they need to guide effectively.

Computer Science Training for Counselor & Administrator participants will learn about trends and opportunities in computer science, and how your district can open doors to these opportunities for ALL of your students. Recent policy and funding changes in Texas will be discussed as well as resources for supporting your district and teachers to build a robust and diverse CS program. This session will help school teams appreciate what computer science is, what new courses involve, and how these count toward graduation and fit with the larger school program.
