The PACE program is designed as a framework, to guide districts as they implement practices for opportunity and achievement in CS education. EDC can help you at any stage of this process, from planning to evaluating.
Support could include a package of PACE Continuous Engagement Support, which includes monthly meetings and summer summits that bring together various CS, technology, and research change agents and participating districts. The goal of these events is to ensure districts recognize and address engaging pedagogies, as well as encourage and support students to explore, choose, plan, and complete CS pathways as part of their educational journeys. Activities focus on working with:
- DSC chairs and district administrators to change system structures to embrace CS and technology access, and promote both student and educator development. EDC could work with you in planning for systems change, monitoring through targeted data collection and analysis, and performing continuous improvement guided by the data.
- Teachers to deepen their knowledge and skills toward more engaging teaching practices within their classroom and to build their capacity to motivate students from all backgrounds in CS education.
- School counselors on strategies for engaging ALL students in CS.
