The Curriculum Crosswalk is a simple tool that allows educators to quickly compare different computer science curricula, understand what each one offers, and decide which is best suited to their students' needs. #TeacherSupport #TeacherResources

Listening to students to figure out what they care about is key to empowering them to solve problems and enact change - a similar (and still powerful!) insight from @GeorgiaTech's Saad Bhamla. #CSEdWeek2020 #csforsocialjustice #RUCSReady

[Rutgers CESP @RutgersCESP]

#SocialJustice should be in the #ComputerScience classroom! Thinking about ways to use #CSE as a tool to highlight social justice, involve administrators and guidance counselors, and challenge issues of equity and access. Looking forward to the #CSEdWeek2020 panel! #RUCSReady

Dr. Ladson-Billings We keep using input models, thinking about what we want to put into schools-more math, more art...but need to ask-What are we trying to get out of it? What do we want to see in the end? Ed Debt vs achievement gap #RRJConference @RutgersCESP @RutgersAltRoute

[Cindy Blitz @cindyblitzphd]

What a day! Best Saturday I've had in quite some time, learned SO much and loved every minute, terrific conference, wow!!!!! Time to get moving and get to work! Thanks to all who helped pull this together #rrjconference2020 @RaceResearch @RutgersCESP @VanderbiltU

[Cindy Blitz @cindyblitzphd]

Ladson-Billings Must improve remote teaching & instructional delivery systems. Rethink role of IT folks in instruct planning. Let's also recognize importance of tech & comp sci ed for all Ss @CSforALL @CSforAllTchrs @RutgersCESP @RutgersAltRoute #RRJConference2020 #CSEdWeek

"[IT folks] need to be in the center of instructional planning." @GloriaLadson @RaceResearch #RRJConference2020

[Cindy Blitz @cindyblitzphd]

And, now..... Gloria Ladson-Billings - critical race theory, culturally relevant pedagogy. How lucky are we to hear from her today?! #RRJConference2020 @RutgersCESP @RutgersGSE @RutgersAltRoute #RUCSReady

[Cindy Blitz @cindyblitzphd]

Teach more not less, promote robust math and science identities - problem solving, reasoning, modeling - you have to do the work - ambitious instruction! @profnicolej #RRJConference2020 @RutgersCESP #RUCSReady @RutgersAltRoute

[Cindy Blitz @cindyblitzphd]

Can't just teach STEM content, need to interrogate instead of perpetuate. Not as simple as recruitment/tching culturally-sensitive, need to disrupt your whiteness, being willing to be checked w love @profnicolej #RRJConference2020 @RutgersCESP @RutgersAltRoute #RUCSReady

[Cindy Blitz @cindyblitzphd]

Why is the STEM system the way it is?!Need to consider roles of STEM actors in perpetuating elitist system. also, consider role of assessments, pathways @profnicolej #RRJConference2020 @RutgersCESP @RutgersAltRoute #RUCSReady
