1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.068
HAVING ME ON.

2
00:00:02.068 --> 00:00:07.540
>> GERRY, BACK TO YOU.
>>GERRY: THE LANDSCAPE OF
COMPUTER SCIENCE HAS CHANGED
DRAMATICALLY SINCE NEXTECH

3
00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:15.315
LAUNCHED NEARLY 5 YEARS AGO.
AT THAT TIME THERE WAS CONFUSION
AROUND WHAT COMPUTER SCIENCE
ACTUALLY WAS AND, IN FACT, FIVE

4
00:00:15.315 --> 00:00:23.690
YEARS AGO ONLY ABOUT 18% OF
INDIANA SCHOOLS OFFERED COMPUTER
SCIENCE COURSES.
THAT IS CHANGING IN A BIG WAY.

5
00:00:23.690 --> 00:00:27.994
IN OUR (I) ON EDUCATION, I'M
PLEASED TO WELCOME BACK TO THE
SHOW NEXTECH PRESIDENT KAREN
JUNG TO TALK ABOUT HOW THE

6
00:00:27.994 --> 00:00:34.901
CONVERSATION AND LEGISLATIVE
ATTENTION HAS CHANGED THE WAY
COMPUTER SCIENCE IS VIEWED
TODAY, INCLUDING HOW NEXTECH

7
00:00:34.901 --> 00:00:43.076
SCALES ITS PROGRAMS FOR K-12
STUDENTS.
WELCOME TO THE PROGRAM.
>> AS I MENTIONED DESCRIBE IT

8
00:00:43.076 --> 00:00:50.583
BECAUSE NEXT YEAR WILL BE YOUR
FIFTH ANNIVERSARY AND REALLY AN
OUTGROWTH FROM THE PHILANTHROPIC
STANDPOINT FROM THE EXACT TARGET

9
00:00:50.583 --> 00:01:00.593
SALES TO SALESFORCE.
TALK ABOUT THAT.
>> BACK IN 2014 AFTER THE
ACQUISITION CLOSED EXACT TARGET

10
00:01:00.593 --> 00:01:06.433
HAD A FOUNDATION MAKING SURE
CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY
AND A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT AREAS
AND THE FOUNDATION WAS NOT PART

11
00:01:06.433 --> 00:01:14.974
OF THE ACQUISITION SO WE MADE A
DECISION TO TAKE THE INVESTMENT
DOLLARS WE HAD AND RECLASSIFY AS
A CHARITY AND FOCUS EXCLUSIVELY

12
00:01:14.974 --> 00:01:21.748
ON BRINGING COMPUTER SCIENCES TO
CLASSROOMS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
>> ALMOST FIVE YEARS FROM NOW SO
TALK ABOUT THE CHANGE YOU HAVE

13
00:01:21.748 --> 00:01:28.755
SEEN IN COMPUTER SCIENCE JUST IN
THE WAY PEOPLE UNDERSTAND IT,
SUPPORTED IN THE STATE OF
INDIANA.

14
00:01:28.755 --> 00:01:33.593
>> IT'S AMAZING THE
TRANSFORMATION.
YOU SHARED THE STATISTIC OF
18 PERCENT.

15
00:01:33.593 --> 00:01:39.432
THAT HAS GROWN DRASTICALLY AND A
LARGE PART IS THE COMMITMENT
THAT HAS HAPPENED AT A NATIONAL
AND LOCAL LEVEL.

16
00:01:39.432 --> 00:01:47.140
LAST YEAR THE GOVERNOR WITH HIS
LEADERSHIP SPEARHEAD LEGISLATION
TO REQUIRE ALL SCHOOLS TO OFFER
COMPUTER SCIENCE FOR 2021.

17
00:01:47.140 --> 00:01:54.814
THAT WAS A FANTASTIC MOVE THAT
CATAPULTED INDIANA TO THE TOP OF
THE CONVERSATION BUT BACK THAT
UP WITH 6 MILLION-DOLLAR

18
00:01:54.814 --> 00:02:01.821
APPROPRIATION FOR THE 2019-21
BUDGET CYCLE.
SO DEFINITELY THE COMMITMENT.
WE'VE SEEN THE GROWTH AND

19
00:02:01.821 --> 00:02:07.794
ADOPTION OF COMPUTER SCIENCE GO
UP 60 PERCENT BUT STILL A LONG
WAY TO GO TO GET TO THAT
COMPLIANCE.

20
00:02:07.794 --> 00:02:14.801
>> AS WE WERE TALKING IN THE
SOCIAL MEDIA LOUNGE INDIANA WHEN
IT COMES TO COMPUTER SCIENCE AND
THE SUPPORT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE

21
00:02:14.801 --> 00:02:20.240
CURRICULUM IS A LEADER.
>> WE TRULY ARE.
THERE ARE NINE DIFFERENT
POLICIES THAT ORGANIZATIONS WILL

22
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:28.681
LOOK AT TO SEE WHICH STATE IS
RELATIVE TO COMPUTER SCIENCE.
WE'VE ADOPTED ALL NINE OF THOSE.
2161 OF THE FIRST TO HAVE

23
00:02:28.681 --> 00:02:37.223
STANDARDS ACROSS ALL K-12 GRADE
LEVELS AS WELL AS IN 2019 BECAME
THE FIRST STATE TO OFFER
STANDARDIZED TESTING FOR

24
00:02:37.223 --> 00:02:44.230
COMPUTER SCIENCE I RATES 4-6
LEVEL SO WE ARE LEADING THAT
CONVERSATION.
>> A REAL FOCUS I KNOW OF

25
00:02:44.230 --> 00:02:49.669
NEXTECH IS ON TEACHERS AND
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
FOCUSING ON TEACHERS THAT
SUPPORT THE TEACHERS AND IMPACT

26
00:02:49.669 --> 00:02:59.178
IN THE CLASSROOM WITH THE KIDS.
>> EARLY ON WE HAD TO MAKE THAT
DECISION HOW TO BRING COMPUTER
SCIENCE TO THE CLASSROOM AND

27
00:02:59.178 --> 00:03:07.887
DECIDED LET'S TRAIN TEACHERS.
BY DOING THAT WE CAN SCALE AT A
FASTER LEVEL THAN WE WOULD
DIRECT TO CONSUMER AND DIRECT,

28
00:03:07.887 --> 00:03:15.261
IF YOU WILL.
WE TRAIN 21 TEACHERS FROM 11
DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND IN 2018
AND 19 ACADEMIC YEAR CLOSE TO

29
00:03:15.261 --> 00:03:20.433
1600 TEACHERS FOR ABOUT 430
DIFFERENT SCHOOLS FROM ACROSS
THE STATE.
>> AMAZING GROWTH.

30
00:03:20.433 --> 00:03:26.506
AS YOU LOOK I KNOW YOU HAD SOME
BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS LAST WEEK AS
WE ARE GETTING READY TO HEAD
INTO 2020.

31
00:03:26.506 --> 00:03:33.413
TALK ABOUT HOW THAT IMPACTS THE
ORGANIZATION.
>> AS WE THINK ABOUT CONTINUING
TO MEET TEACHERS WITH THE

32
00:03:33.413 --> 00:03:39.218
IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPUTER
SCIENCE WE'VE MADE AN INVESTMENT
AND DECISION TO HAVE OUR FIRST
RESIDENTIAL PROFESSIONAL

33
00:03:39.218 --> 00:03:45.959
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM NEXT SUMMER
WHERE WE HOPE TO BRING TOGETHER
200 HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS FROM
ACROSS THE STATE NOT ONLY TO

34
00:03:45.959 --> 00:03:54.233
LEARN A SPECIFIC CURRICULUM, BUT
TO REALLY FOSTER THAT COMMUNITY.
MANY TEACHERS ARE ON AN ISLAND
AND MIGHT BE THE ONLY PERSON

35
00:03:54.233 --> 00:03:59.138
TEACHING COMPUTER SCIENCE SO WE
MADE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT LAST WEEK
AND EXCITED TO BRING THAT TO
FRUITION.

36
00:03:59.138 --> 00:04:07.146
WE CONTINUE LOOK AT HOW WE
BETTER ENGAGE STUDENTS WHERE IT
MAKES SENSE AND WE ANNOUNCED A
STATEWIDE CS FOR GOOD

37
00:04:07.146 --> 00:04:12.051
COMPETITION.
THE FIRST YEAR WE HAVE IT
AVAILABLE TO ELEMENTARY MIDDLE
AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, WHICH

38
00:04:12.051 --> 00:04:20.426
WILL BRING GROUPS OF STUDENTS
FOR A COMPETITION FROM INDIA'S
-- INDUSTRY PANELISTS AND
WINNERS.

39
00:04:20.426 --> 00:04:27.500
>> AGAIN YOU TALKED ABOUT SCALE
AND THE IMPACT ON CLASSROOM.
YOU HAVE MENTIONED MAY BE AROUND
1500 STUDENTS LAST YEAR THAT

40
00:04:27.500 --> 00:04:32.071
WERE IMPACTED.
>> TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
STUDENTS.
IF WE LOOK AT AGAIN 1500

41
00:04:32.071 --> 00:04:38.244
TEACHERS THAT WE TAUGHT THEY GO
BACK TO CLASSROOMS WITH AN
AVERAGE OF 20 STUDENTS SO THE
MATH ADDS UP GREAT.

42
00:04:38.244 --> 00:04:46.919
EVEN BETTER IS NOT JUST THE
STUDENTS THAT WE TRAIN THEM BUT
ASSUME THEY TEACH THREE YEARS SO
IT'S A COMPOUNDING EFFECT.

43
00:04:46.919 --> 00:04:47.920
>> NEXTECH A GREAT EXAMPLE OF
