Here's what you can do today:

1. Please reflect on the following questions, then prepare and post an update with your thoughts in the Collective Impact for Computer Science course group:

• Why is computer science education important to you?
• Have you used any collaboration strategies in your local context to promote computer science education before? Have they worked? What are your thoughts on these strategies (e.g., pros and cons)?
• What is your idea of Collective Impact? 

2. Learn about Collective Impact in the eyes of an American education administrator.

In the videos that follow, Dr. Caitlin Dooley, Deputy Superintendent, Georgia Department of Education, tells us what she thinks Collective Impact is and why it has a crucial role to play for bringing real change in Georgia's computer science education.

Reflect on the following questions after you have watched the videos:

• What are the core features of Collective Impact? 
• What makes Collective Impact particularly suited for expanding computer science education, vis-à-vis, for example, a state mandate?
• In your local context, are there other stakeholders to whom computer science education is also important? Who are they?
• How might a Collective Impact in computer science education look like in your local context?
