Chicago has a high concentration of people who identify into one or more historically underrepresented groups in #computerscience. The same can be said across the rest of Illinois. We need to stop tethering our work toward #CSforAll in IL to its zip codes, 606XX or otherwise.

Really looking forward to meeting so many fellow Illinois K12 #ComputerScience teachers at #CSPDWeek this July 17-21st. More than just a weeklong experience, we’re going to build & support the largest, most inclusive statewide network of CS teachers ever. Join us. @ltcillinois

Just as puzzling to me: how come we don’t talk about this practice of “stacking” Computer Science courses more often across the #CSforAll, #DEI, #AcademicTwitter, and broader #edreform communities? It’s time we find another way. This is *not* a “best practice”. #iledchat

I have never heard of any high school - anywhere - running AP Calc and AP Stats in the same room, at the same time, taught by the same teacher. That feels almost silly to write. So why is this such common practice in high schools that offer both AP Computer Science courses?

Yup. Computer science is an application of mathematics in the theoretical designs of binary (and eventually quantum) computational architectures, while also being an application of (and contributor to) every other science known to man. Let’s make it happen, indeed. @CSForIL
