National Science Foundation
Part of CS10K Program -- 10,000 more qualified CS teachers in U.S. high schools ready to teach Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles (AP CSP).
Four prongs:●Growing our professional community●Strengthening our professional community●Linking our professional community●Broadening the CS pipeline
PUMP-CS - What will it mean?
●~ 25 - 30 AP CS teachers statewide●~ 40 - 60 other CS teachers statewide
●Over 525 high schools in our state.
●PUMP-CS will fund tuition/stipends for 100 more ECS or CSP teachers in 3 years.

Multiple Entry Points
Hour of Code K-12 programs
– K-5 programs– CS in Algebra, CS in Science– High School Programs
K – 5 Curriculum• Short courses for elementary school
– Free / open-source– Online “games” on any modern browser/tablet– Video lectures by Mark Zuckerberg, Chris Bosh, Bill
Gates– Deeply aligned to Common Core Math + ELA, NGSS– Free professional development workshops
nationwide– 99% approval by teachers
• Any district, school, or teacher can participate
K-5 Curriculum
• 224 K-5 teachers attended PD in AY14-15• 5 on-site elementary school PDs• 240+ Girl Scouts on Marquette campus
K – 5 PD
• Code.org trained affiliates provide full day PD workshops free of charge to interested teachers.
• Workshops focus on “unplugged” lessons• Moderated online forums for support throughout the
year• Can host separate workshops for K-1, 2-3, and 4-5
grade bands• We will ensure space with a local affiliate for
teachers from our district partners
CS in Algebra
• 20 lessons• various implementation
approaches• aligned to Common Core
Standards
CS in Science
• Uses science as a tool for modeling and simulating scientific situations
• 4 Modules, each consisting of five or more lessons (Aligned to NGSS):– Computer Modeling and Simulations– Earth Science (Water as a shared resource)– Life Science (Ecosystems as complex systems)– Physical Science (Chemical reactions)
• ~20 hours of instruction total (5 hours for each module)
High School Computer Science
• Exploring Computer Science– Year-long introductory course– Units on problem solving, web development,
intro to programming, data analysis, robotics
●Targeted to 9th and 10th grade.●Broad introduction to computing concepts
and computational thinking.●Inquiry, Equity, Content●Essential preparation for AP CSP.
●Can teach ECS in your area, without 405 CS endorsement.
(Less than 25% programming content.)
Exploring Computer Science (ECS)
ECS Wisconsin 2014 Cohort
• 18 school districts• 6 of 10 largest Milwaukee Pub. High Schools• 1 of 3 Madison Public High Schools
• 800+ students participated in data collection
ECS Wisconsin 2015 Cohort
• 19 new teachers• 8 new school districts• Reinforcements for many others
ECS Wisconsin 2016 Cohort
• Recruiting starts in fall• Need course on master schedule for AY16-17• Areas of focus:
–Remaining large MPS and Madison schools–Kenosha/Racine–Fox River Valley–Anything north of Marshfield
High School Computer Science
• AP CS Principles– Year-long course for non-majors– Units on Creativity, Abstraction,
Data and Information, Algorithms, Programming, Internet, Global Impact
– In 2012, over 200 universities attested they would give credit for AP CSP.
AP CS Principles
• Google CS4HS funds for 2-day workshop• Most of funds for continuing support in
academic year:• 3 follow-up meetings parallel in Milwaukee
and Madison with telepresence• Virtual Department Meetings• Sub funds + travel for peer observation
High School Computer Science
• AP CS A– Year-long course for majors– Deep dive into Java and Object
Oriented Programming/Design

Context for New Standards• We define computer science as:
“Computer science (CS) is the study of computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, their hardware and software designs, their applications, and their impact on society.”
