The CS Principles Providers and Teachers Forum is the third gathering of CS Principles educators, providers and teachers in a structured session at SIGCSE. This forum was created to fill the need for a community for CS Principles providers and teachers to discuss best practices, feedback, or share teaching experiences.
The CS Principles Providers and Teachers Forum aims to increase collaboration and discussion among College Board endorsed providers and teachers by offering a diverse agenda.
The forum will be a half-day pre-symposium event (4.5 hours) on Wednesday, March 11. We are looking to do something different this year -- focusing more so on engaging community discussion over presentations.
We’ll open the first hour with the College Board Open Forum Style Session, presented by Crystal Furman. Description of this session is at the bottom of the email.
Then, we’ll spend the next hour with CSP Providers giving updates on new curriculum, how they might be addressing College Board changes, and anything workshops that are happening over the summer. Featured CSP Providers will be: BJC,
code.org, CodeHS, CS50, etc.
The last two hours will be dedicated to discussing Broadening Participation in Computing, where attendees will discuss topics such as:
- Teacher Roundtable: sharing experiences as a CSP teacher (i.e., what's working, what's not working, the changes they would like to see across the curriculum offerings, the supports they would value, etc.)
- Diversity in computing (i.e., making CSP accessible to Diverse Learners)
- Outreach to teachers and schools
- Participant raised topics
Please fill out this form to register for the CSP Forum, and complete the additional questions if you would like to:

Registration closes Monday, March 9 at 11:59 PM PST.
