perfect opportunity fora CS education study and this paper relates both the experience and the results of using this approach. Once again, thefact that this was still during the “review intro programming” phase of the course was beneficial since I was able to beginmodifying the course accordingly. (Luckily, I do not mention programming language specifics in my Syllabus so nochanges were required there.) The other advantage was that I have over a decade of experience teaching data structuresin several languages including C and C++ in addition to Java and Python. What resulted was an intellectually stimulating exercise: a course I had taught many times, including 3 times in therecent past using Python, and about a half dozen times immediately

have proposed and implemented the following interventions. ●​ Aligning CS1 Course Content: To address the disparity in course expectations, we comprehensively reviewed existing CS1 course content from CSULA and ELAC. This collaborative effort led to the creation of a standardized course syllabus and content for CS1 courses, which was implemented in Spring 2024. This standardization not only streamlines the learning experience for students but also ensures consistency across different instructors and campuses. As we build on this foundation, we are currently developing standardized content for CS2 and CS3 courses to enhance the continuity of learning further. ●​ Building a Community of Practice Among CS
