Continuous Equity Support
The PACE Framework puts a spotlight on designing district-based practices for opportunity, fairness, and achievement in computer science education. To that end, PACE Continuous Equity Support weaves together monthly meetings and summer Equity Summits to bring together the various change agents and participating districts to focus on ensuring that they recognize and address systemic inequities, practice equitable and inclusive pedagogies, and encourage and support students to explore, choose, plan, and complete computer science pathways as part of their educational journeys. Targeted activities focus on working with:
- DSC Chairs and District Administrators to change system structures to embrace access, equity, and promote both student and educator development.
- Teachers to deepen their knowledge and skills toward more culturally-responsive and inclusive teaching practices within their classroom and build their capacity to engage students from diverse backgrounds in CS education.
- School counselors on strategies for engaging ALL students in CS.
