Equity-focused Peer Mentoring for High School CS Teachers
SIGCSE 2022: Proceedings of the 53rd ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education V. 2

There is a burgeoning population of new CS teachers who are looking for additional support in their first few years of teaching, particularly around equitable and inclusive pedagogy. At the same time, there are a sizable number of teachers with multiple ...
How Near Peer Mentoring Affects Middle School Mentees
SIGCSE '18: Proceedings of the 49th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education

In response to the national demand to increase participation in CS, we argue that youth's interest in computer science (CS) can be sparked by providing them with role models who are relatable and who resonate with their identities. To that end, we ...
Addressing Professional Development Needs for K-12 CS: Working with Your Local CSTA Chapter (Abstract Only)
SIGCSE '15: Proceedings of the 46th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education

One of the greatest challenges for K-12 computer science educators is finding the opportunities and resources to stay up-to-date with the field and its pedagogical practices. Teachers often lack CS colleagues at their school, which makes the lack of ...
