Abstract

SCRIPT (Strategic CSforALL Resource and Implementation Planning Tool) is a tool and a process created by CSforALL to catalyze systems change by offering a framework to plan and implement Computer Science Education for all students at a local education authority (LEA) or school district level. CSforALL shared this tool with LEAs through guided Workshops, which proved that SCRIPT's Theory of Change was effective. Due to the high demand from school districts all around the US, and motivated by the goal of reaching ALL students, CSforALL tested three different models of scaling the SCRIPT intervention. This poster summarizes our preliminary findings related to the challenges and opportunities presented by each of these three scaling strategies.
