earlyCS exposure also positively impacted math majors: many minored in CS or took more CScourses than required; many opted for a BS in Applied Math or chose upper-division electiveswith a computational or applied focus. Our hypothesis is that early CS exposure improves theexperience of math majors by expanding their awareness of career options and by developingskills that enhance their conceptual understanding and problem-solving capabilities.RecruitmentOur recruitment plan has three stages.First, we invite students to apply to the CS/M Scholars Program. The invitees have alreadyapplied to our university, have demonstrated an interest in majoring in computer science ormathematics and have shown academic potential. We determine a student’s

The following parent quote shows the value of this approach: “I’m so glad [he] was engaged throughout the week. I so appreciate the opportunity given to him and the other students. Having an ADHD diagnosis made him feel different (in a negative way) from his peers and I believe affects his confidence at times. The experience at the camp the other week somehow “normalized” the diagnosis allowing him to embrace it rather than hide it.”• Participant-centered planning- Observations from the high school program showed that in order to

Education innovation is as much about the solution as it is about managing change. So no matter how cutting-edge technology, my process incorporates strategic planning, instructional design best prac- tices, and stakeholder involvement. I’m deliberate about tapping into community know-how and creating collaborative optimal solutions that take into account the often-intangible but always-essential human el- ement.

During an EEE faculty retreat in May 2015, the faculty converged on a plan to leveragecollaborative teaching to launch the EEE graduate program. The faculty agreed on two importantfoundations: a core topics list (which included input and ranking by all faculty at the retreat), anda structure for a foundational graduate course. The core topics list is included as Appendix B. Inorder to catalyze the effort, maximize initial impact, and distribute the invested time widelyacross EEE faculty, a collaborative teaching model was agreed upon. Collectively, the facultywould teach six 1-credit modules in series; three starting in Spring 2016 and three in Fall 2016.Each 1-credit module (five

This research analyzed the use of the Design Timelines within aclassroom seminar to explore students’ understanding of design and metacognition e.g planning,monitoring, and evaluative qualities of design from a worksheet of an in-class activity. A mainfinding in this paper shows student instances of metacognitive monitoring, defined as “one’sperformance selectively for signs of progress. Self-monitoring like self-observation, refers toone’s cognitive tracking of personal functioning” [11].The behavior of monitoring as it relates to metacognition, has similar parallels to DonaldSchön’s idea of reflection-in-action

The researchers followed a group of undergraduate students to examinetheir experience in this program and how they understood their teacher/learner roles within thisinformal setting. Many of the undergraduate students struggled with the unstructured format of theafter-school program wherein the children did not necessarily acknowledge them as “teachers”whose instructions or ideas needed to be followed.
