Improving education in computer science requires that pedagogical innovations propagate beyond the original creators, so that transformative practices become a part of everyday teaching within the larger community of CS educators. However, propagation requires substantial time and energy, as well as intentional planning. The CS education community needs to engage in sustained efforts to explore and implement evidence-based strategies for increasing adoption and sustaining impactful use of transformative practices. To that end, this column represents another installment of our ongoing efforts to capture knowledge within the CS education community by interviewing prominent propagators, individuals who have successfully spread educational innovations [1–3]. In this column, we interview Dr. Colleen Lewis. Colleen recently moved from Harvey Mudd College to become a faculty member at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Among other projects, she is well-known for her work with CS Teaching Tips [4], an NSF-sponsored project for disseminating effective computer science teaching practices that is highly regarded within the CS education community. Her research seeks to identify effective teaching practices for creating equitable spaces where all students have the opportunity to learn [5–9]. Colleen has received the NCWIT. org Undergraduate Mentoring Award and the AnitaB. org Emerging Leader Award in Honor of Denice Denton.
