How we know it works

Two Year Pilot

In our pilot for the U.S. Department of Education's Rural Tech Project, we served 26 students from 5 Kentucky counties.  In the first year, 13 students took Intro to Computer Programming for high school credit.  Ten of the 13 students returned for the second year, and 13 new students enrolled in the second year to begin the program.

63 hours of college credit

 The 10 students who completed two years of the program earned a combined 63 hours of college credit in two dual credit courses:  Digital Literacy and Computational Thinking. 

IC3 Industry Certifications

Seven of the 10 students who completed two years earned IC3 Digital Literacy certification, which is a global benchmark demonstrating basic literacy in operating systems, hardware, software, and networks to employers.

Student Satisfaction

We continuously survey students who learn virtually in We Lead CS courses to learn what they like and don't like. Universally, students say what they like the most about  We Lead CS is the teacher - how accessible he is to them for help and support.  They also like to learn at their own pace and are building confidence in their ability to code.  Unreliable internet and learning to manage their time and stay focused are their biggest challenges.  Our teachers use student feedback to adapt their teaching and coaching  and to understand how the We Lead CS learning experience can best meet students' needs.
