Alexis Cobo, Ed.D

As a former K-12 school-based instructional leader, my professional passion focuses on the national initiative to provide computer science education to all students. The widely known CSforAll movement emphasizes equitable and inclusive pedagogy, strategies, and preparation for students and teachers. However, a growing body of research suggests while more states, districts, and schools adopt computer science standards, barriers to inclusion, particularly teacher professional development, agency, and beliefs, prohibit positive student outcomes. Therefore, I seek to contribute as both a researcher and a school-based leader to unlock pathways to equitable and inclusive teacher professional development in computer science education.
