The New York State K12 Computer Science and Digital Fluency Learning Standards were adopted by the Board of Regents in December 2020.  The new standards focus on five key concepts: impacts of computing, computational thinking, networks and systems design, cybersecurity and digital literacy.

The Association for Computing Machinery, Code.org, Computer Science Teachers Association, Cyber Innovation Center, and National Math and Science Initiative have collaborated with states, districts, and the computer science education community to develop conceptual guidelines for computer science education. 

The K–12 Computer Science Framework comes at a time when our nation’s education systems are adapting to a 21st century vision of students who are not just computer users but also computationally literate creators who are proficient in the concepts and practices of computer science. States, districts, and organizations can use the framework to inform the development of standards and curriculum, build capacity for teaching computer science, and implement computer science pathways. The framework is designed to guide computer science from a subject for the fortunate few to an opportunity for all.
