Expands access to computer science coursework in Massachusetts public high schools.
The bill mandates that every public high school in Massachusetts offer at least one foundational computer science course. It also requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to create a micro-credentialing process for educators interested in teaching these courses. This process would allow qualified individuals to teach foundational computer science courses for up to five years without needing additional teacher certification requirements. The bill aims to ensure every student has the opportunity to access such courses within a four-year course of study.
