Rate My Professor Cory Gleasman

In 2020, Gleasman established Tennessee Technological University's computer science education program, the first in Tennessee, which produced its first graduate in 2021. He directs the P-16 Mentorship Program connecting Tennessee Tech students with local high schoolers, co-directs the Governor's School for Emerging Technologies, and leads the university's participation in the CSforALL Accelerator Program as a Core Community Nashville Team member. As an affiliate of the Cybersecurity Education, Research and Outreach Center (CEROC), he supports initiatives in cybersecurity education. Gleasman's key publications include 'Debugging behaviors of early childhood teacher candidates with or without scaffolding' (International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2022), 'Learning to teach coding through argumentation' (Computers and Education: X Reality, 2022), 'Pre-Service Teacher's Use of Block-Based Programming and Computational Thinking to Teach Elementary Mathematics' (2020), 'A Typology of Warrants Contributed in Mathematics and Coding Argumentation' (2023), and 'Evaluating educational robotics as a maker learning tool for pre-service teacher computer science instruction' (Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024). His scholarship impacts teacher training by promoting effective debugging, argumentation, and robotics in computational thinking pedagogy. Gleasman has delivered webinars like 'Tips for Cross-Curricular Coding at Your School' and appeared in podcasts on computer science teaching.
