Abstract: Skills in computing and data are critical for students to thrive in a data-driven world. As advanced digital technologies evolve, the capacity to understand how data are produced, interpreted, and used is increasingly essential for civic participation, workforce readiness, and scientific advancement. While efforts to expand learning in these areas have grown, opportunities to participate are unevenly distributed and lack coherence across grades and subjects. "Data and Computing In K-12 Education: Foundational Competencies" presents a coherent national framework for developing the foundational competencies students need in data and computing. This report identifies seven shared competencies that span disciplines and grade levels and examines how they align with existing STEM standards and classroom practice. It offers guidance for integrating data and computing into K-12 education in ways that strengthen core mathematics and science learning. Through addressing curriculum, teacher preparation, professional learning, technology access, assessment, and system-level coordination, the report calls for sustained, coordinated action to ensure that all students have meaningful opportunities to develop literacy in data and computing.
