[equity-compsci] Data on Teachers and Students of Color

Mon Feb 13 09:27:33 PST 2023

Thank you for sharing this Catherine. It is helpful. I am hoping to do some data exploration myself soon when I have some free time. Looking forward to exploring all of these equity-based goals together in the future.

Hi Eric and all,

I have been gathering some data on our service area. I tried to capture county-wide information from the 3 counties we service, not just a 10 mile radius due to the rural nature of the population we serve. There is some information here that is not necessarily relevant to this discussion (APCS numbers, for example) but I was capturing the data as I think about how we can help CS teachers in our area through offering PD.

Thanks for sharing the dashboards, Crystal!

Clearly, the data show that this committee is badly needed and there is work to be done.

Happy Monday!

Catherine

This data is very interesting.
I would be curious to see demographic data for populations in general within a 10-mile radius of each of these colleges disaggregated by race. (Not a request, just pondering about seeing correlations),

Finding CS faculty is difficult due to the differences in pay between industry and academia and with the tech industry being overwhelmingly populated by white males, these findings aren't surprising.

It definitely emphasizes the work that needs to be done and that starts with educating more underrepresented populations of students into CS so the available selection to hire from is more diverse as well. And finding a way to offer better competitive wages (although I've always believed if a teacher is a teacher for pay, they are in it for the wrong reasons).

Thanks for sharing these, Crystal.

Some data to think about (and discuss as people want):

Although 10% do not have demographic information, the lack of diversity is hard to escape.
