Many students with disabilities face many challenges when trying to learn CS/Cybersecurity. In this session we will review the new ADA Title 2 rule from the Department of Justice titled “Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability; Accessibility of Web Information and Services of State and Local Government Entities” and its impact on CS/Cybersecurity. We will review and demonstrate several of the affordances the students with disabilities use to access computers. We will review accessible programming environments and curricula.
Join us to explore how IDEA Public Schools, the largest charter school network in Texas, expanded its computer science program from a handful of campuses to over 40, creating opportunities for underserved students. Discover IDEA’s teacher development framework, Programming and Software Development course sequence, curriculum resources, and support materials that help teachers drive success. Learn about the systems for student enrollment and the online communities fostering collaboration among IDEA computer science educators. This session offers insights for scaling computer science education.
