“…At the same time, CS teachers face a number of challenges unique to teaching CS, such as being the only CS teachers in a school, which has important implications for how to support them through ongoing professional learning rather than single time-bound activities [71]. Furthermore, high school CS teachers often do not identify themselves as CS teachers with one their own backgrounds and certification in other subject areas contributing to the lack of professional identity [51].…”

Throughout the world, Computer Science Education (CSE) has expanded exponentially over the past decade, focused on teaching primary and secondary students computing ideas and tools. To teach all these students computer science (CS), models for teacher preparation range from one and done professional learning workshops to full certificate and licensure programs. This report provides a landscape of how CS teachers are prepared academically in various countries and makes evidence-based recommendations for how teachers should be educated to develop knowledge and skill to teach computer science. It also discusses how to develop these knowledge systems while promoting instruction that is equitable and centers students in the classroom. We brought together a group of international computer science education scholars who have been engaged in teacher preparation. In addition to what knowledge teachers need to teach CS, we also focused on how the field is preparing teachers and the role of computer science in the design of technology tools to achieve goals while mitigating potential societal harms. * WG leader.
