Rhode Island K-12 Computer Science (CS) Education Standards
The Rhode Island Computer Science Education Standards endorsed by the Rhode Island Council for Elementary and Secondary Education, identify the knowledge, practices, and skills in computer science (CS) that all students should know and be able to do at each level in their education. School districts have access to standards that retain the rigorous and collaborative work of the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA), Code.org and other national CS organizations yet also relate to the unique needs of Rhode Island. A statewide CS Education Standards Advisory Committee whose members represented a broad range of expertise in education and industry completed their work in 2018. As a result, Rhode Island now has CS Education Standards that provide K-12 students with the CS content and practices needed to thrive in an increasingly complex world.
