Ed Council and Ed Board The puzzle and the report by Barabara Boucher Owens, SIGCSE Board Board member, also sits on the Ed Board. Therefore SIGCSE has a ringside seat on both bodies. There was a joint meeting of the Ed Board and Council in Denver in September and it was particularly productive. Most of the first day centered around reports from various consistituencies. The Ed Board/ Ed Council Chair, Andrew McGettrick delivered a report prepared by the ACM CEO John White describing the extreme good health of ACM as a whole and outlining the major focus areas of ACM. Each representative to the council gave a short report updating their work. Mark Guzdial reported on the progress of an umbrella organization , called PACE, which includes major players in computing education such as ACM, IEEE, and NCWIT. On the second day, discussion groups formed to focus on various topics including the following. · CS2013, the Council meeting, photo courtesy of Barbara Boucher curriculum update headed Owens by Mehran Sahni of Stanford An ACM India initiative for the development of educational materials proposed by Mathai John K-12 education (especially the CS10K project) CS Education week Taurus (Taulbee for the Rest of Us) Group Discussion at Ed There are numerous entities within ACM that actively work to support education and outreach. ACM coordinates these myriad efforts through its Education Council and Education Board. As described on their website2: The Board wields the final executive and decision-making power to facilitate the work of the Education Council. The Council is a task-force-based, networking-oriented organization whose aim is to promote ACM's educational mission to as wide a range of constituencies as possible: universities, community colleges, high schools, corporations, and the US government. There are about 35 members of the Ed Council including representatives from CSTA, CSAB, and the community of twoyear colleges. Several of the SIGs with strong educational components are routinely asked to send representatives to the Council, including SIGCHI, SIGGRAPH, SIGITE, SIGCAS and, of course, SIGCSE. The deliberative body, The Ed Board, consists of a chair, past chair, vice chair, and at least five, but no more than 10 atlarge members. The Ed Board chair is appointed by the ACM president and the Board members are appointed by the chair. I am the SIGCSE representative to the Ed Council. Mark Guzdial, an at-large SIGCSE · · · · The Taurus project was particularly interesting to the SIGCSE contingent as this project started under a SIGCSE Special Projects grant. http://www.acm.org/education/education_board SIGCSE Bulletin, Vol. 43, No. 4 October 2011
