This course explores ways to add elements to any curriculum to make it more inclusive. Participants will spend time analyzing their chosen curricula for elements of student voice, student choice, diversity, and equitable assessment. This course is not to discuss which Computer Science (CS) curriculum may be more equitable or inclusive than the other. This course is for educators to develop a number of ways to infuse more equity and inclusion into the lessons they are already teaching.
Objectives
Participants will:
- Describe why equity in CS curricula is important.
- List examples of student voice, student choice, and equitable assessments modeled by education experts.
- Explain a working define of student voice and how it translations to students in the classroom.
- List an inventory of ways student voice, student choice, diversity, and equitable assessments can be included within a set curriculum.
- Evaluate curriculum for the presence of student voice, choice, and diversity.
- Identify the benefits of differentiated assessments.
