I Do, WeDo, You Do: Integrating a K-5 CS Progression |
Listen and learn : Lecture
Sunday, November 29, 9:00–9:45 am PST (Pacific Standard Time)
Taylor Cotton Liz Loether
Get a glimpse of the K-5 CS progressions implemented at America's first computer science elementary school! We'll share our 21st century curriculum and explore supporting skills students need for the world of work. You'll learn how to create an integrated CS curriculum with adaptations for distance learning.

Participants will leave this presentation with a clear picture of what an integrated Computer Science program looks like from grades K-5. They will also understand why introducing or enhancing a CS program at the Elementary Level is important, considering job outlook and world of work skills desired for future careers. As a result of this presentation, participants will leave with ideas of how to introduce Computer Science into their school site or classroom along with some free resources that will support these introductions, such as Scratch, CSFirst, etc. These integration ideas will apply to primary and intermediate grades, as well as to blended and distance learning models. Participants will also have an opportunity to try out their hand at setting up accounts and tinkering with coding on these free resources.
The presentation will start out with a summary of job skill statistics for future careers in the world of work. We will then go into data relating to careers based on coding/computer science along with current data in connection with gender and racial identity. (5 minutes) Next, participants will learn about a K-5 computer science progression in broad strokes, with complexity increasing at each grade level across the various coding media. (5 minutes) Following the big picture, participants will learn how to integrate content into the computer science curriculum in both the primary grades and intermediate grades, including in blended and distance learning instructional models. (15 minutes) Then, we will exhibit some student work samples that were created within the progressions discussed. (5 minutes) After that, participants will learn what pitfalls to avoid, based on our years of experience with integrated CS curriculum. (5 minutes) Finally, participants will learn about free resources available, before having some time to set up accounts and explore the free resources. (15 minutes)
