Abstract

This paper develops a mathematical and computational modeling approach that provides a data-driven platform to address research questions relating to student pathways in K-12 education. Specifically, this paper uses scalable network modeling to create a model of the Common Core Mathematics Standards. The result is an educational map that formally represents the Standards and the relationships among them. This educational map is represented mathematically as a network model that forms the basis for computational graph analytics and visualization to identify Standards and learning pathways of interest. Using the network model, we model the disruption due to COVID-19 related school closures in Spring 2020.

Abstract

In 2001, the Wyoming Supreme Court ruled in State v. Campbell County that every Wyoming K‑12 student has constitutional protection for a fair, complete, and equal education appropriate for the times. This protection results in the universal availability of a “basket of goods,” or a set of educational deliverables guaranteed to each student independent of the resources of individual school districts. In 2019, an executive action by Governor Matt Mead added to the deliverables “the use and understanding of computer science.” His executive action initiated a system in which universal computer science became available to every Wyoming K-12 student by the 2022–2023 school year.
