Developing Competencies for the Future of Data and Computing: The Role of K-12

Recently completed

Skills in computing and data are critical for students to thrive in a data-driven world. While efforts to expand learning in these areas have grown, opportunities to participate are unevenly distributed and lack coherence across grades and subjects. Our new report identifies seven shared competencies for data and computing and how they align with existing STEM standards and classroom practice. Through addressing curriculum, teacher preparation, professional learning, technology access, assessment, and system-level coordination, the report calls for sustained, coordinated action to ensure that all students have meaningful opportunities to develop literacy in data and computing.
