Dr. Joanna Goode is the Sommerville Knight Professor in the College of Education at the University of Oregon. She began her career in education as a high school computer science teacher in a large, diverse urban school, and she builds on this experience to research how educational policies and practices can foster equity, access, and inclusion in K-12 computer science education. Joanna has directed multiple National Science Foundation-sponsored research projects, developed the equity-focused Exploring Computer Science high school course, and is the co-author of the book, Stuck in the Shallow End: Education, Race, and Computing (MIT Press, 2008/2017).
In this episode, Dr. Goode talks about the development of inclusion in the CS classroom.
I read the post about Dr. Joanna Goode and how she works to make computer science something every student can explore in ways that feel friendly and exciting. Back when I was stuck on a long paper, I needed affordable research proposal editing on a messy draft so my ideas made sense and felt clear to others. Thinking about her approach made me realize that support and patience help learning grow in big ways.
