The computer science education (CSEd) community de- mands researchers, curriculum developers, schools of education, and districts take action to meet the needs of all students. This experience report from the CSforALL Broadening Participation in Computing Alliance (BPC- A) describes a Field Catalyst approach to systems change at scale. We further describe how the alliance will cat- alyze the field toward action supporting girls and Black and Hispanic students. By strengthening a shared iden- tity, establishing standards of practice, disseminating a knowledge base, supporting leadership and grassroots efforts and offering frameworks to support policy for equity, the field will catalyze efforts to implement state policies for CSEd 

The demand to provide high-quality computer science (CS) education to K-12 students across the United States continues to grow due to societal transformations driven by AI and cybersecurity. However, the impact of state initiatives and mandates on district leaders’ decision making remains an under-explored area in the literature. In 2022, CSforALL began work in Tennessee, a state poised to enact CS education policy, as part of a Research Practice Partnership (RPP). This study investigates the first eight school districts who participated in the Strategic CSforALL Resource and Implementation Planning Tool (SCRIPT) workshops in 2022 and 2023, setting goals based on the SCRIPT rubric. The study takes a general qualitative approach underpinned by the Capacity, Access, Participation, and Experience (CAPE) Framework [14] to develop a coding scheme analyzing the districts’ related rubric scores and goals, and to investigate the impacts on equity indicators. The districts participated in three SCRIPT workshops held in 2022 and 2023, and this study dives deeply into the initial goals as well as analyzing the ways the SCRIPT rubric aligned to the CAPE Framework to investigate how district leaders make decisions which impact teacher and student outcomes which lead to equitable high-quality CS education.
