It highlights perfectly the confusion districts are experiencing with the "new" choices offered for the CS pathway. We are trying to gather evidence that MSDE's communication is misleading districts to think that PLTW is the only option when it's not. Pat will be meeting with state officials to help clear this up and we are all working together to outline options for districts that focus on free, quality materials. <br><br>Dianne O'Grady-Cunniff<div>CS Matters in Maryland</div><div><a href="http://Code.org" target="_blank">Code.org</a> affiliate trainer</div></div><div><br>On Aug 4, 2017, at 1:54 PM, CS Matters in Maryland <<a href="mailto:csmattersinmaryland@gmail.com" target="_blank">csmattersinmaryland@gmail.com</a><wbr>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">Please respond to Mike.<div><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Michael Coyner</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:michael.coyner@qacps.org" target="_blank">michael.coyner@qacps.org</a>></span><br>Date: Fri, Aug 4, 2017 at 1:38 PM<br>Subject: MSDE CTE CS POS questions<br>To: CS Matters in Maryland <<a href="mailto:csmattersinmaryland@gmail.com" target="_blank">csmattersinmaryland@gmail.com</a><wbr>><br><br><br><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Hi Everyone-</span><div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div><br></div><div>I brought this topic up in the spring about our then current CTE supervisor wanting to move to the PLTW CS pathway b/c as she stated, that is the direction that MSDE is headed. Since we have a new supervisor coming in this is my chance to convince him/her we should keep our local track and not adopt the PLTW one. Want to make sure I'm informed before I state my case. I would pose these questions directly to MSDE, however, I believe they will re-direct me to our local supervisor as has happened in the past.</div><div><br></div><div>This MSDE <span class="m_8549997917911996840m_-7467318985813987417m_2869143616167221864gmail-TSRSpan" id="m_8549997917911996840m_-7467318985813987417m_2869143616167221864gmail-TSRSpan_49"><img class="m_8549997917911996840m_-7467318985813987417m_2869143616167221864gmail-TSRWebRatingIcon"></span><a href="http://www.marylandpublicschools.org/programs/Pages/CTE/CTEprograms.aspx" style="background-color:rgb(184,234,184)" target="_blank">link</a> only has PLTW CS under the IT category (which makes me think that MSDE will only support the PLTW CS track).
