Abstract: In this presentation we provide an overview of the CTE Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment that we conducted last year. We will explain how we interpreted the Perkins V Plan, designed measures for the needs assessment, gathered and analyzed data, and interpreted results to create the final report. Major findings and lessons learned will be discussed.

Abstract: The presence and support for computer science (CS) in Hawai‘i public schools are increasing. From legislative appropriations to increased computer science professional development, under consideration is an increased tiered implementation of CS courses and content in grades 1–12 with a target date of 2024–25 for all elementary and middle schools to offer CS (SB 242). With the passing by the Hawai‘i State Legislature of Act 51 (HRS 302A-323) in 2018, all high schools are now offering CS, and elementary schools can add computer science to report cards. This presentation will share findings from a partnership between the Hawai‘i Department of Education and the Curriculum Research & Development Group to examine the landscape of public school K–12 computer science education in Hawai‘i (http://hdl.handle.net/10125/69382), particularly after the passing of Act 51. Based on analysis of data from the schools and national data systems; a survey of 492 K–12 educators and administrators; and five follow-up sets of interviews with educators and industry partners, we find opportunities have increased in Title I schools, but gaps between males and females and underrepresented minorities still exist.

The Hawai‘i Data eXchange Partnership (Hawai‘i DXP) is a partnership of State of Hawai‘i agencies that have agreed to share and use data to support continuous improvement of programs and services at all levels of statewide education and workforce training. These cross-sector data are an ideal resource for faculty, graduate students, and others who are interested in studying the longitudinal outcomes of Hawaii Public School students as they traverse the education-to-workforce pipeline. In this webinar, participants will learn about the types of data available via the DXP, about the types of research questions that can be addressed by the DXP, and about the process for requesting DXP data.
