I'm a high school math and science teacher, in a small alternative school. I teach an intro programming class each year, which I am slowly starting to integrate into core classes.
I also want to apply what I know to long-standing problems in education. I want to bring core concepts of programming workflow, such as forking, into education. I am currently working on a project called Open Competencies, which allows:
- schools to develop and maintain their own bodies of learning standards;
- new schools to fork another school's competency system, in a matter of minutes;
- schools to define different "pathways" through the curriculum.
