ECEP Alliance

#ECEP2025 was a roaring success! We thank the Minneapolis team for being such wonderful hosts in the beautiful city of Minneapolis. The ECEP Alliance?will always support computer science professionals by encouraging teamwork among our member-states and the sharing of great ideas and ideals. "In such uncertain times in education, the ECEP Summit assembles a powerful collection of education professionals to discuss ways to make computing education accessible for ALL students!" — Allen Antoine, M.Ed., CS Education Strategy Director, Expanding Pathways in Computing

#ECEP2025 is off to a roaring start! After a captivating first day, join us for Day 2 for engaging sessions on cross-state networking and highlighting the amazing work being done by ECEP teams across the country. "I'm happy to be here at ECEP2025 because of the accountability and great ideas being shared among the teams. Teamwork is the only way we can broaden participation in computer science education." — Michelle Meier, Computer Science Consultant, Iowa Department of Education

#ECEP2025 has begun! The Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) Alliance seeks to increase the number of students in the pipeline to computer science degrees by supporting CS education reforms. "The sole mission of the Alliance is to increase access to CS opportunities for all students and prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow. The ECEP Summit is a powerful tool for Alliance members to share about their triumphs and encourage others!" — Jaci McCune, PhD, ECEP Director

Excellent piece from ECEP CA state leader Dr. Julie Flappan about the urgent need for computer science education to help students thrive in the age of AI.

ECEP 4 officially launched in January 2025. ?? We are committed to continue working alongside states to build strategies aimed at broadening participation in computing for all students. ECEP is excited to release additional resources, build new connections with others in the CSEd space, and expand opportunities for others to grow in the CSEd community. ?

Thanks to Grow with Google for supporting ECEP and our Scaling Inclusive Pedagogy (ScIP) teacher professional development!

This #CSEdWeek, Google has compiled a library of resources for U.S.-based K-12 educators. Scaling Inclusive Pedagogy is an ECEP-designed course that equips educators with resources necessary to focus on equitable access to CS in schools. Learn more: https://buff.ly/4g2pVBY

The 2024 State of CS Report is out! Download the report, review the data, be inspired by the educators and states highlighted in the report, and ask yourself how you can best position yourself and your state to advocate for broadening participation in computing. We have work to do!

The 2024 CSforALL Commitment represents ECEP's 7th year proposing and delivering on an action that catalyzes broadening participation in K-12 computing. This year we are developing a new toolkit that will help leaders in any state to develop diverse and sustainable teams to drive state-level systems change efforts. Keep an eye out for the toolkit to be released in early 2025!

We’re proud to partner with @csteachersorg @TheOfficialACM @codeorg @CollegeBoard @CSforALL on #ReimaginingCS Pathways, a community-wide project that explores how CS learning opportunities can be reenvisioned for high school students. Learn more: reimaginingcs.org
