"The State Board of Education is expected to adopt California’s first-ever computer science standards Thursday afternoon. The standards, while not mandatory, are expected to increase the number of computer science classes taught in California classrooms.
“There is a consensus that today’s student needs to understand how the digital world works, in the same way they need to know how the natural world works, so they study science, or how the cultural and political world works, so they study history,” said state board member Trish Williams.
If the standards are approved, California will join six other states with computer science standards for K-12 students, according to Code.org, a non-profit organization that promotes computer science education. Twenty-one other states have passed policies that provide computer science standards for high school students."
