Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) Executive Director Jake Baskin joins the podcast to discuss the isolation that teachers, especially computer science teachers, often experience, the CSTA Equity Fellows program, and what he hopes the education system will take away our time teaching in a pandemic.

Jake also applauds the CS Ed community on how much policy work has been done, shares his best professional development experience, and drops a hint on where a future CSTA Annual Conference could be held. Plus, he wins the award for being our first guest to render Lien speechless!
