Computer Science
The Computer Science Office demonstrates a comprehensive approach to integrating and expanding computer science education across all grade levels. At the elementary and middle school levels, Instructional Facilitators of Computer Science (IFCSs) play a crucial role in supporting the integration of computer science concepts into the K-8 curriculum. These instructional facilitators work closely with teachers to develop engaging, age-appropriate lessons that introduce students to foundational computer science skills. At the secondary level, dedicated Computer Science Resource Teachers focus on building robust Computer Science Pathways, ensuring students have access to a progressive and coherent computer science education as they advance through high school. This strategic approach reflects the office's commitment to expanding computer science offerings and fulfilling the Virginia K-12 Computer Science Pipeline program, which aims to create a continuous learning path from elementary through high school, preparing students for future academic pursuits and careers in the rapidly evolving field of technology.
