CS Alliance & Code.org worked on getting a bill (HB188) passed to require the creation of CS endorsement. After getting some initial input, NMPED is seeking YOUR comments on their draft for a new endorsement for Computer Science. This is for secondary teachers (they don’t yet have anything for K-8). Please read over their proposed endorsement and give feedback. Do you like it? See anything that should change or be clarified? This is your time to weigh in and make this endorsement the best for our community.
