Thanks to @MichaelCRalph and Laurence Woodruff for having me on their podcast! I've talked about teacher shortage stuff a lot recently, but I really appreciated the extended format here. And they had some of the best questions I've gotten. twopintplc.com/podcast-episo…

To address the lack of diversity in K-16 computer science education, ECEP focuses on state level systems change. Today @Google announced an investment of $3 million over 3 years that will allow us to add 5 states & expand our ability to measure impact. bit.ly/ecepfunding

A former student let me know he got a programming internship at Amazon and said: "When I took my first cs class at DePaul, I was extremely unconfident about my ability to succeed ... your firm belief that I would be fine in the class if I just worked hard really stuck with me."
