Hi my name is Kisha. I work for John Muir Charter School in Sacramento, CA. Currently in my district I am teaching a computer demo class which involves everything that is NOT Computer Science. In this CS inequities course I hope to learn more about how to bring Computer Science as a tool to my students and increase inquiry for further learning about computer science.

5th Grade Teacher - LAUSD
Currently at our school we have finally reached one-to-one devices; a silver lining of the pandemic! We had a full-time computer teacher, but he mainly allows the children to play on apps/games during their computer time. I am interested in learning proactive teaching skills/methods to integrate technology in our general subjects. In addition to this, I am interested in knowing what skills we should be focusing on with the younger grades K-2 3-5 to help prepare them for what is coming later!

Serving 3 alternative education schools in East Oakland, CA.

In my district, schools have different career pathways. Two of my sites are tech pathways and our goal is to expose our students to more tech literacy as well as the vast world of tech and all of its endless possibilities.

One of my sites actually has a CS course, but due to the pandemic, it has been put on hold.

The other site needs a bit more support.

I hope this project will help jumpstart a CS program at the site that has no prior experience. Both of my sites serve predominantly marginalized communities and with this project we can fight the inequities and I can support the CS team that already exists with expansion.

- currently my middle school, King, is the only middle school offering a semester long computer science class
- all middle schools offer some sort of STEM class where students are exposed to CS briefly, but it is not a focus of the curriculum.
- Matt Albinson and Shoshana O'Keefe can speak to what Berkeley High and BTech offer in our district. Glad to see them here!

I hope to address the lack of girls and students of color in my computer science classes.

In my district there are a handful of CS classes at the high school level. Our school has a single section of AP CSP that we are hopefully expanding to 2-3 next year.

I hope to address how to engage all students (especially female students and URMs) in CS starting in 9th grade through either a clear vertical pathway or integration across disciplines.
