In support of the New Jersey Computer Science State Plan, the New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Computer Science (NJSLS-CS) were adopted by the State Board of Education on June 3, 2020. The Office of Innovation is leading the effort to support New Jersey educators in realizing the vision of the Computer Science State Plan to provide equitable and expanded access to high-quality, standards-based Computer Science education for all K–12 students.
Computer science often includes computer programming or coding as a tool to create software, including applications, games, websites, and tools to manage or manipulate data; or the development and management of computer hardware and the other electronics related to sharing, securing, and using digital information.
In addition to coding, the expanding field of computer science emphasizes computational thinking and interdisciplinary problem-solving to equip students with the skills and abilities necessary to apply computation in our digital world.
CS education: good for our students, good for our state
