TACTICS-
Pioneering Accessible Computer Science

Our collaborative research Teaching All Computer Science Through Inclusion and Collaboration with Special Education (TACTICS) addresses the vital need to support teachers’ ability to broaden participation of learners with disabilities in CS education during the earlier grades. Utilizing the inclusive design frameworks of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and High Leverage Practices (HLPs) will provide opportunities to bring other marginalized learners into elementary CS education. Our overarching goal is to increase the level of meaningful engagement and learning of 4th and 5th grade students with disabilities in CS education by addressing the complexity of how people facilitate other people’s STEM learning.
