Title: Can There be DEI Without Accessibility?
Disability and accessibility are often left out of policies and actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Despite progress on including disability and accessibility in broadening participation in computing (BPC) efforts over the past fifteen years, the idea of including people with disabilities in the groups that are minoritized in computing is still not universal. In this article we document successes in including disability in BPC efforts and where and how improvement can be made. We will argue that without explicitly calling out disability and accessibility, DEI policies and actions replicate the ableism present in our existing institutions.  more » « less

    Graduate computing programs are launchpads for innovative careers, yet a persistent access gap limits opportunities for graduate students with disabilities, particularly at the doctoral level. This paper therefore argues for targeted interventions to increase educational equity. We draw from the literature to outline key challenges and institutional barriers. We then propose prioritized actions for universities, which include crafting graduate-specific accommodation policies, enhancing assistive technology support, improving the accessibility of research materials and activities, and building disability-inclusive cultures. By building on existing disability support infrastructure-which currently focuses on undergraduates-institutions can broaden participation in graduate-level computing education.

    This experience report provides insights into the unintended consequences of five states efforts to make computer science education policy changes in an effort to broaden participation in computing (BPC). At the 2019 Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) meeting, several member-states were invited to share about the unintended consequences of computer science education policy reform in their states. Due to the nature of policy making and implementation, marginalized communities including students, practitioners, and under resourced schools are most impacted by education policy reform efforts. As computer science education gains traction as an education policy priority in states and districts, it is important to learn the lessons of past education policy failures and successes, specifically how these policies could trigger unintended consequences that will impact the broadening of participation within K-12 computer science education. The examples put forth by the states include unintended consequences of policies such as making CS count as a graduation requirement, defining computer science, developing CS standards, and teacher certification. These experienced unintended consequences may be relevant to other states seeking to make CS policy changes. This paper concludes with a reflection on the ECEP model as a tool for mitigating these unintended consequences as part of the BPC efforts.

    State computing education policy advocates utilize legal language to build systemic change for broadening participation in computing (BPC) efforts. This study posits that state education policymaking, involving law and regulations that influence the norms and practices in K-12 classrooms, requires identifying authority structures and systems, which are accountable for delivering equitable computing education. Of the 29 states and Puerto Rico in the Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) Alliance, 14 states have computing education laws, and 9 states have mandated reports. Recommendations for how states can refine existing policies or create new equity centered state computing education policies are provided.

    Abstract: It is critical that we understand the systemic issues that have led to the historic marginalization of students in K-12 computer science education (CSEd) to the degree that we can design equity-centered policy and actions. Investments in CSEd have expanded rapidly through local interventions and state policy, however the data required to understand the impact of this expansion continues to lag or be insufficient. This paper takes a retrospective look at efforts to measure broadening participation in computing (BPC) approaches and identifies equity-explicit strategies moving forward, Over the last two decades, efforts to measure BPC have evolved from ad-hoc grassroots methods to more systematic and sustainable approaches. BPC, often interpreted as access and participation, does not address the inherent inequality embedded in the K-12 American public education system. Current data efforts often focus on the student, obscuring the systems and practices that contribute to inequities in CSEd. This paper concludes with recommendations for prioritizing data utilization and the development of holistic data systems that are woven into strategic plans that lead to systems change and equitable student access, participation and experiences in computing.

    Computer Science (CS) education advocates have worked within states to change K-12 education policies in order to broaden participation in computing (BPC) and grow CS as a content discipline within K-12 classrooms. Statewide summits, which convene a variety of stakeholders across levels of education, are pivotal events that build momentum for change. Maryland has utilized annual summits to leverage statewide advocacy in order to continue CS K-12 education growth. Summit evaluations provided valuable data to strategically plan additional events and advocacy activities. Data from the past four annual summits are analyzed and discussed. State advocacy outcomes include: 1) increased statewide CS education awareness, 2) the establishment of the Maryland Center for Computing Education, 3) seven million dollars of state funds dedicated to K-12 CS education professional development and pre-service teacher preparation program reform, and 4) the enactment of Securing the Future: Computer Science for All law. This law requires all Maryland public high schools to offer CS, make efforts at the middle and elementary levels to include CS, and broaden participation in computing in K-12 classrooms. Valuable insights are provided for other states to consider as they build BPC advocacy efforts through statewide summits in their own states.
