: 600 teachersWashington State is considering a CS requirement in high school. In preparation for this potentialchange, CS education advocates estimated the number of teachers needed to support a newcourse requirement. As an initial approach to calculate the number of teachers needed, the stateteam used the following approach: 1)​ The assumption that the requirement would be met with a single high school CS course (which they acknowledge is not a sound assumption given the ambiguity of the law, but does offer the most feasible implementation path). 2)​ Determine the average number of graduating students in the state in a 4-year window (S). 3)​ Subtract the average number of high school students per year taking a CS course

Bloom’s level and the average level for the CSTA standards.The CSTA standards have a higher average level than most states. This portion of the analysisdoes suggest that there is a wide variety in the cognitive complexity of state standards as written,ranging from a high of nearly 4.0 (or the analyze level) to a low of about 2.5 (the understandlevel). Our analysis did not pinpoint the underlying cause(s) of these differences. Future teams ofstate standards writers may, therefore, find it useful to assess whether their standards reflect thecognitive complexity level that they deem most appropriate. To date, there is little to no researchindicating what average level of cognitive complexity – or distribution of cognitive complexity ina set of

Although this study did not specifically address rural children'sfunds of knowledge, Wilson-Lopez et al.’s [20] examined engineering-related funds ofknowledge. Their research highlighted how everyday skills and expertise, acquired throughfamilial, community, and recreational practices, facilitated the development of teamwork,systems thinking, ethical reasoning, and scientific and mathematical knowledge, which areessential for engaging in the engineering design process.
