2024 Identity Inclusive Instructors in Computing Education Summit

The purpose of the Identity Inclusive Instructors for Computing Education Summit is to build capacity,  knowledge, and skills to support identity-inclusive computing education in high schools and colleges.  

This year’s workshop seeks to bring together Pacific Northwest educators across secondary and college pathways to consider how pedagogical practices, course design, and supportive learning ecosystems can support students from multiple and intersectional identities.  

Who can participate? 

This professional development workshop is open to high school, college, and university instructors of computer science education. This year, there is a particular focus on the Pacific Northwest region. While individuals are welcome to apply to participate, we encourage applications from those who have organized into small regional groups of 3-4 educators, representing both secondary and higher education settings. The goal of the Summit is to engage secondary and postsecondary CS educator groups in thinking about and co-designing Identity Inclusive CS education activities across their local CS pathways.  

When is the program? 

Full participation in the program spans a pre-meeting online Zoom session and an in-person workshop in Portland, Oregon over a weekend. 

• Pre-Summit meeting, 1 hour, March tbd @ Zoom 

• April 6-7, 2024 @ Portland, Oregon 

To make the most of our time together, we will prepare and distribute pre-session materials to review before the workshop. This will require four hours to review and reflect on materials.
