COMPUTER SCIENCE: AN EXAMPLE OF LEADERSHIP

Steve Vinter, Executive Coach and Tech Leadership Development Advisor at Google in the Greater Boston Area, brought a group of K-16 educational leaders together to develop a campaign to bring Computer Science to MA schools. Over the course of two years the initiative became MassCAN and CS became part of many schools' curriculum. For the past four years work continues to expand CS education in MA schools. Steve will present his reflections on the subject and process and a panel of educators (Dan Downs, North Reading PS, Ellen Driscoll, Middleborough PS, Beth Knittle, Barnstable Public Schools and Tracy Sockalosky, Natick PS and moderated by Isa Kaftal Zimmerman, MassCUE Board Advisor) will react and reflect.
