Excited to announce that I've accepted a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Computer Science & Science Education at San José State University! Looking forward to continuing my contributions to CSEd in this position.

I am moving to a new role in September as CS HoD at a school for girls. I would love to increase engagement with CS and STEM and eventually have enough interest from the girls to run A Level CS 🤞 Would love to hear from anyone on this journey too and hints/tips!

Coaching should not *just* be about teachers learning how to execute techniques but about supporting teachers to develop their *judgement* too i.e. deploying techniques appropriately to meet goals. Therefore, we need to know about mental models. Why?

Well done to the AI team at Teach St Mary's for this report. Sam Lovatt - proud of you.

Great day today seeing all our BA and PGCE primary and secondary trainee teachers graduating here at Oxford Brookes University University and starting as ECTs.
