Abstract

Despite the commitment of educators, policymakers and industry leaders, the goal of broadening participation in CS to students who have been historically underrepresented and excluded remains elusive. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 41 administrators and teachers across 20 elementary, middle and high schools in a New York City, which has a robust CS for All initiative, we build on prior work to examine how normative, structural, and political barriers vary across schools offering CS through different implementation models. We also examine promising equity-focused leadership strategies aimed at overcoming these barriers.
