This working group shall try to project the strategic directions in which CS education at all levels (high school, undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs) ought to be heading in the next decade or more. In what ways have current educational programs and curriculum models succeeded, and in what ways are they failing?
More specifically, what subject areas are emerging in CS that are not well-covered by current curricula, and what subject areas are becoming obsolescent or irrelevant? Are there technical demands from the world that are not well-met by current programs, and how can they be better met? Are there teaching strategies and other dimensions of computer science education that ought to be more effectively developed and disseminated? Does the computer science education infrastructure provide an effective framework within which various groups within the education community can effectively communicate and share their goals, outcomes, and common concerns?
Group members' position statements will address various aspects of these and related questions. Two key references for our discussions are the reports "Computing the Future" and "Computing Curricula 1991," which are cited on the Group Home page. Other references may be added as the group's scope and goals crystallize.
