How do we teach the fundamental ideas of computing in an inclusive and age and interest specific way? Learning processions?

How best do we include persons with disabilities?

What are the best approaches to pedagogy? To assessment?

How do we introduce CT in other disciplines?

How can we effectively use on-line courses to provide education at scale?

Play in the K-12 space– The big guys have decades of results– Adoption tied to standards– Money tied to evidence base

To make the most of the current wave – K-12– Undergraduate– Diversity Inclusion

Why bother?

How do we get there?

– Change the culture in academic departments

– Figure out how to evaluate, tenure, and promote CS education researchers

– Build partnerships with learning science and other education researchers
