Computer Science Resource Approval Process
Approvals of K-8 computer science resources are part of the broader K-8 STEM Resource Approval Process, ensuring K-8 students and teachers access high-quality instructional resources in computer science. The process evaluates resource submissions based on the Quality STEM Implementation Guide, utilizing Louisiana Teacher Leader Advisors. Any submissions for a middle school exploratory computer science course must align with the 6-8 Louisiana Student Standards for Computer Science.
For grades 9-12, the Computer Science Pathway Approval Process guarantees teachers receive high-quality instructional materials and training from external providers. Potential providers may submit materials through the STEM Pathways Approval Process. Computer science courses should demonstrate a strong alignment with 9-12 Louisiana Student Standards for Computer Science.
