2022 Computer Science Teacher Survey

Introduction

The Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) and the Kapor Center are conducting a survey of PreK-12 computer science (CS) teachers in the United States. The CS education landscape continues to evolve, and we want to hear vital insights directly from teachers about your experiences and challenges and to understand what resources would be most useful to you. Having detailed and current information allows policymakers, curriculum & PD providers, State Departments of Education, membership associations, and other organizations to better understand and meet the needs of teachers. If you teach PreK-12 computer science, we need your voice! We invite you to participate in this national survey, the results of which will be used to make specific recommendations to improve support for PreK-12 CS teachers.

Participation

Your participation in this survey will last approximately 20 minutes. All questions are optional. If you do not feel comfortable answering a question, you may skip ahead to the next question. You are free to withdraw from participation at any time and also free to skip any answers that you do not feel comfortable answering.

To be eligible to participate, you must:

Be a resident of the United States.
Work at a public or private PreK-12 school.
Currently teach computer science* to students in grades PreK-12.

*Computer science IS NOT learning basic computer literacy skills or using technology for learning. Rather, it is “the study of computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, their hardware and software designs, their implementation, and their impact on society” (Tucker et al., 2006).
