dc.description.abstractThis district overview highlights the work Talladega County Schools (Talladega) did over the course of three years to plan, build, and implement computing pathways. Talladega County Schools is a 7,500-student district in rural Alabama. Talladega has eleven STEAM-certified schools and 48% of all educators participate in STEAM leadership professional learning. As a member of Digital Promise’s League of Innovative Schools, Talladega applied to participate in the National Science Foundation-funded Developing Inclusive K-12 Computing Pathways for the League of Innovative Schools project to focus on developing an Inclusive K-12 Computing Pathway aligning the computing courses available within the district. Talladega set an equity goal of focusing on including two specific populations: offering computer science and computational thinking to students from low socioeconomic households as well as female students.en_US
