<div><span>The Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) Alliance is holding the 2018 ECEP Annual Meeting, </span><strong>Measuring What Matters: </strong><span><em><strong>Ensuring Progress in State-Level Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) Efforts</strong></em>,</span><span> in Atlanta, GA Jan. 26-27, 2018. This meeting focuses on four strategic areas of BPC work: defining BPC, re-thinking measurement systems, setting measurable goals, and building sustainable pathways.</span></div>
<br><div><span>While developing the meeting goals and agenda, ECEP and the Evaluator Working Group (EWG) developed a </span><span style="font-size:12pt">data tool designed to plan for and track broadening participation at the state level. The Broadening Participation Ease and Value template and State Data template (combined in one document, linked below) are the drivers of the annual meeting. The templates may need input from different people to complete (i.e. those steering strategy and those who access data), however, the two templates should be reviewed by the members of the ECEP team attending the summit.</span></div><br><div><strong>Guidelines for completing this document:</strong></div><ul><li>
<div><span>This process should be led by your state leadership team</span></div>
</li><li>
<div><span>Review and discuss the templates with your ECEP state team and annual meeting attendees</span></div>
</li><ul><li>
<div><span>There will be questions, please ask them.</span></div>
</li><li>
<div><span>There will be items that you can't respond to, make note of them. This is an iterative process. ECEP and EWG want to build a strong tool. We need to hear from you. </span></div>
