1. Some Universities (at the very least MIT) have begun teaching Python as an introductory language and hopefully others will follow suit.
2. Stanford CS106A class which has been online for some time now is one of the better intro classes I've seen. You can breeze through it just to get a rough idea. The core focus of that class was less about language and more about software engineering principles.
That said, I think all classes are far from perfect and can still be reinvented. Like any other class in any school (K-12 or Universities), I believe education is busted in many ways much less how a given class in any subject category is taught. If anything, its not unique to just CS or programming and I think realistically, it needs to change in a lot more ways than one.
