This report is for colleges of education that are interested in adding or increasing Computer Science Education (CSEd) offerings in teacher education programs, either preservice or inservice. The report is based on data collected through a workshop of national leaders in CSEd who are involved with teacher education. The workshop convened 51 people from across the country to collate resources, share experiences, and make recommendations for colleges of education. The attendees represented 25 colleges of education in 16 different states as well as stakeholders from non-profits, government, and industry. Results and recommendations are included.

Our biology affects how we interact with the world, including how we learn new knowledge and respond to challenges. This article explores the impact of neurochemicals in our brain on learning and explains how to leverage our biology to improve education and problem-solving, focusing on computing education. Within this context, the article particularly examines the role of failure while learning. Learning, especially in technical fields, includes making errors on the path to success. While these errors trigger the necessary neurochemical conditions for rapid learning, these failures can also be demotivating. To gain the benefits of failure while mitigating its negative consequences, this article recommends evidence-based behavioral strategies for making the best out of failing while learning and designing for failure in learning environments.
