We talk about U of T’s large flipped CS1. We started with the class’s specifics, how it’s flipped, and their “prepare, rehearse, and perform” cycle. Then we discussed their decision to have a synchronous part of the class despite remote teaching. We spent the rest of the episode on her thoughts on how best to flip a class, which included reconsidering if video is the right medium, flipping doesn’t need to happen all at once, and colleague buy-in from all others that could teach the course is important.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode5/Mon, 01 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode5/In this episode, we talk to Leigh Ann DeLyser, co-founder and executive director of CSforAll. Our topic is the need to reform systems for sustainable equity. We discuss what it means and what CSforAll does. We also discussed the specific difficulties our host, Kristin Stephens-Martinez, has with her CS1 class and how it’s actually a systems problem. You can also download this episode directly. Transcript Kristin [00:00]: Hello and welcome to the CS-Ed Podcast.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode4/Mon, 15 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode4/Joining us today is Joe Feldman, author of Grading for Equity and the CEO of Crescendo Education Group. We discuss the historical overview of grading and why now is a good time to rethink our grading process to make it more equitable. We got concrete by discussing our host’s, Kristin Stephens-Martinez’s, syllabus for her class and changes she was considering after reading Grading for Equity. One significant point Joe made is that grades should only convey the student’s level of mastery, not their behavior.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode3/Mon, 01 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode3/In this episode, we talk with Nicki Washington, a full Professor of the Practice at Duke University, about cultural competence. We discuss the definition of cultural competence. Its history, why we should care, and what it means in the context of computer science. We also talked about Nicki’s new class on this topic and her 3C Fellows program. Finally, we close with a call to action. Many people and organizations have started learning, reading, and making commitments.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode2/Mon, 18 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode2/Our guest today is Jared O’Leary, the Director of Education and Research at BootUp PD. Jared creates computer science curriculum and professional development and is also the creator of the CSK8 podcast. Our topic was what K–12 and higher education computer science education can learn from each other. We discussed Jared’s philosophy and curriculum design process, as well as why K–12 and higher education do not communicate as much as would be ideal.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode1/Mon, 04 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode1/In this episode, we talk with Manuel Pérez-Quiñones, a Professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Our topic is supporting students of color. We discussed why this support matters and the differences between professors versus students and equality versus equity. We also discussed how he changed his grading practices for his remote class. He even shared about changing his syllabus to specification grading, which he reflects on in his blog now that the semester is over.
