Drawing on in-depth interviews with 41 administrators and teachers across 20 elementary, middle and high schools in a large urban district with a CS for All initiative, we build on prior work by examining how normative, political and technical barriers vary across schools offering CS through different implementation models. We also examine promising equity-focused leadership strategies aimed at overcoming these barriers. Keyphrases: Computer Science for All, Equity, K-12 instruction, Leadership, broadening participation
