I don't manage the edu-sig web page any more, for python.org, but could see where a link to this thesis would look handsome right next to bullet 5: "John Miller's PhD dissertation, Promoting Computer Literacy Through Programming Python (1.37 MB), looks at the issues around teaching with Python, and explores some of the threads taken up on edu-sig."

Thank you Fotis, I have been reading this all morning, had not seen it before. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I've mostly documented by classroom work in my blogs, but usually in connection with Saturday Academy, which doesn't compete to offer transferable credits, only skills and its own credential, which does count for something. This is not the same as having an established state school recognize Python as a good learning language. I salute the Pedagogical Institute for having some vision.
