The Education Week Spotlight, From Coding to AI Literacy: Rethinking Computer Science Across K-12, is a collection of articles hand-picked by our editors.
Computer science is becoming an essential part of learning at every stage of K-12 education, from introducing elementary students to coding, algorithms, and AI to preparing older students for coursework and technology-driven careers. As schools expand access, educators are rethinking what computer science should include in the age of AI, placing greater emphasis on data literacy, problem-solving, ethical use of technology, and computational thinking. These articles explore how districts can build more inclusive computer science pathways across grade levels while supporting the teachers who make them possible.
