factors of consideration for entering into the profession of teaching computerscience [39].We can therefore conclude that teacher identity plays a key role in shaping the pedagogicalapproaches and overall effectiveness of a teacher. It is thus imperative to evaluate the impactof the teacher training program on the unique identities of the teachers under study and howthey develop.Commitment. Teachers’ commitment plays a central role in the expansion and, subse-quently, the sustenance of computer science education, both on a rural and urban scale.Teacher training supports educators by boosting their commitment and confidence in theirability to teach computer science as well as leading students in completing course capstoneprojects [40].

. In this paper, we draw upon the National Survey of Science and Mathematics Education, the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009, and the 2021 American Community Survey to underscore a lack of access to computer science learning contexts for students in these communities. We also explore how rural out-migration is compounding this challenge, and explore the roots of the rural out-migration trend. We then examine how multiple strains of research and scholarship identify rurality as either a place-based identification (i.e., where a student is from) or a distinct social identity. While convenient, geographic-based definitions lack important nuance in understanding rural populations and tend to emphasize

engineering andbusiness students. Concept-Space functioned both as a detailed portfolio to document individualwork processes (graded) and as a team workspace for developing an innovative technologicalproduct for a valuable market. Before diving into these case studies, we will first examineConcept-Space itself and how its design draws from multiple properties of mental structures.2. Description and Foundations of Concept-SpaceConcept-Space was developed through a design process. It started with a comprehensiveexploration of available data from various domains and a synthesis of this information into aframework that was used to define a set of design requirements. This phase was followed by fouriterations of design, prototype, pilot study (with

graduation requirement 5 . ECS courseenrollments at CPS rose significantly, from 3,165 in 2013 to 7,901 in 2017, and 15,220 in2021 6 .The growing numbers of ECS teachers, students and schools have experienced numerous benefits.A previous study found that 43% of ECS students enrolled in additional high school CS courses,compared to only 26% of students who started with alternative classes 7 . Furthermore, a post-ECSsurvey revealed a significant surge in student interest in learning more about CS, with 43%expressing being “very interested,” up from 17% before the program began 8 . Students who havecompleted CS courses, particularly ECS, also tend to earn higher grades in subsequent sciencecourses than students who have not completed CS courses 9 . A

computer science and computer engineering students. This course was offered byour University’s School of Computing Department in Spring 2024 and Fall 2024 as a 3000-levelvariable credit hour elective course for the duration of a semester, approximately 15 weeks. These3000-level elective courses typically are special topics courses for interest areas or undergraduateresearch opportunities and often a place to pilot a course prior to a full 3-credit hour courseoffering. In addition, courses in this designation count toward a student’s graduation requirementsfor elective courses. As this course was listed as an upper-undergraduate level course, weexpected students to have some experience in coding and have taken an introductory 2000-levelsoftware
