|Item 4: Education Technology Committee |

| |

|2018 Computer Science Standards for California Public Schools (Information) |

|1. Report on the Computer Science Focus Group Meetings (Information) |

|In November 2016, the California Department of Education convened three regional focus groups to gather input on what guidance and information should |

|be included in the computer science standards. The Computer Science Focus Group Report (Attachment 1) summarizes the oral comments received at the |

|focus group meetings and incorporates the written comments received during that time. These comments are the basis for the draft guidelines that will |

|direct the work of the Computer Science Standards Advisory Committee (SAC). |

| |

|2. Draft Guidelines for the Development of the Computer Science Standards for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve |

|(Information/Action) |

|The Draft Guidelines for the Development of Computer Science Standards for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve (Attachment |

|2) are based on statutory requirements, comments received at the three focus group meetings, and written comments received in November and December |

|2016. |

| |

|The Education Technology Committee will review the draft guidelines and make edits or modifications as necessary, and will take action to forward the |

|draft guidelines to the full Instructional Quality Commission (IQC). Once the full IQC approves the guidelines, they will be forwarded to the State |

|Board of Education (SBE) for approval at the July 2017 SBE meeting. |

| |

|3. Recommendation of Members of the Computer Standards Advisory Committee (SAC) to the State Board of Education (Information/Action) |

|The Education Technology Committee will review the applications and recommend applicants for appointment to the SAC to the full IQC. Once the full IQC|

|takes actions on the Education Technology Committee recommendations, those recommendations will be forwarded to the SBE. The SBE will appoint SAC |

|members at the July 2017 SBE meeting. |

| |

|California Education Code, Section 60605.4 (a) requires expertise and experience across all grade spans and experts in computer science and a minimum |

|of one-half of SAC members must be teachers currently teaching K–12 students (Attachment 3). |

| |

|The information in the SAC Application Summary Table (Attachment 4) is provided to support the appointment of a SAC that meets the Education Code |

|requirements. |

| |

|The SAC applications and resumes are provided in Attachment 5. The applications and resumes were not edited and may contain errors. Copies of the |

|application will also be available for public review during the IQC meeting on May 18, 2017. |
