Developing Critical Thinking: Computer Science Across Disciplines — Elementary (2024–25)
The Developing Critical Thinking: Computer Science Across Disciplines — Elementary Community of Practice, in collaboration with Amazon Future Engineer, aims to introduce computer science concepts to PreK–6 educators of all subject areas. Participants will learn to use computational thinking, a problem-solving approach that breaks down complex problems into manageable parts to support students’ metacognition and problem-solving skills. This Community of Practice will focus on the thinking processes of computer science applicable to elementary-aged students in all subject areas. All strategies, digital activities, and digital tools experienced in this Community of Practice can be leveraged in face-to-face, blended, or virtual learning environments.
This session is available as a part of:
2-day professional learning hosted at a face-to-face location across the United States yearlong provides an excellent way to broaden or deepen the ongoing improvement of instruction and comprehensive culture of student success within your school setting.
Four 3-hour professional learning modules through a virtual platform using videoconferencing provide a high-paced, interactive, dynamic learning experience while modeling engaging and rigorous instruction. There will also be opportunities to engage in One-to-One Collaborative Coaching.
