I work in a similar organisation to SPJ in Australia, the Australian Computing Academy (https://aca.edu.au). Everything he said mirrors quite closely what has been happening in Australia for the past decade. We also have a national curriculum (https://docs.acara.edu.au/resources/Digital_Technologies_-_S...) which we're rolling out across the country.

The main take away I've received from doing this job for the past two years is the same one that SPJ reiterates in his talk. Teaching is a very distributed discipline. There's no top down solution to implementing a new curriculum. If you work in the industry and volunteer to help a school you can make a huge difference!
