Some Of My Lingering Questions/Thoughts
If you can't afford PD for other educators in your district, how could you use model PDs like ECS or what I've talked about in other episodes to provide PD to your own district?
How might individual teachers start grassroots CS implementation rather than relying on top down implementation?

Each episode of the #CSK8 Podcast explores research, experiences, or perspectives on computer science education through interviews with computer science educators, scholars, and administrators, as well as episodes that summarize and unpack implications of research for classroom teachers who are interested in learning more about practical applications of research in their classroom.
