Panel — Implementing CS curricula in secondary education: An international perspective

Despite several well-received designs for Computer Science curricula in secondary education being published both on national and international level, the implementation of these curricula is still being impeded by a variety of factors. This panel is intended to present issues, and approaches to solving them, from an international perspective. The presenters bring together experience in curriculum design, implementation, and teacher training and certification, and have had some successes that will help to inform those who are struggling with barriers to successful implementation and sustained improvement to Computer Science education. Given the current efforts to standardize courses in secondary education both in North America and Europe, it is expected that the results of the discussion following the presentations will help inform and influence these implementation efforts.
