What do we mean by "for all"?

Where is CS taught in Washington?

OSPI provides an annual report on K-12 CS student engagement. Below the latest data from 2022-23, showing enrollment and demographics. We also have 2021 data on teachers.

Across the state, the trends are clear:

• Many schools and districts are not offering CS courses at all

• Most students in CS classes are White and Asian boys.

• Most teachers are white and most are men.

Check the specific trends in your district.

Are there resources for broadening participation computing?

Many:

• The National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) has many resources for systematically engaging girls in CS education.

• The National Girls Collaborative Project has many resources for engaging girls in CS education.

• AccessComputing has an extensive knowledge base of strategies for supporting youth with disabilities.

• Microsoft has a guide for inclusive CS teaching.

• IGNITE Worldwide partners with teachers and companies to inspire girls and non-binary students to pursue CS.

These resources largely focus on recruitment and retention strategies that engage and successfully teach excluded students.
