The city has been on a crash course to prepare computer science teachers ever since 2015, when the de Blasio administration dedicated $ 81 million to a 10 - year goal of
providing computer science instruction to all public school students.
Although there is no applicable SOL test associated with
computer science instruction, these standards are intended to
provide students with a detailed understanding of the study of
computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, their hardware and software designs, their applications, and their impact on society.
