This session for educational leaders delves into effective strategies for implementing Computer Science in K-5 schools, even if your teachers lack prior experience. Learn how to introduce CS to your schools, and support teachers unfamiliar with the subject. We will start by establishing the purpose of integrating CS into the curriculum, identifying the specific roles and benefits for both students and teachers. Participants will gain a fundamental understanding of CS concepts, explore various pathways to successful integration, and address potential challenges, including how to handle pushback from resistant educators. Participants will define key CS concepts such as algorithms, control structures, and debugging. They will also experience hands-on coding with sequencing, loops, and conditionals, while learning practical strategies for identifying and resolving common programming errors. Emphasis will be placed on promoting equity in CS education, ensuring all students, regardless of background, have access to these essential skills. Join us to discover how to support your teachers effectively, leverage invaluable resources like Code.org’s self-paced training programs, and leave with a clear, actionable plan to champion CS education in your schools. Empower your educators and students to thrive in a culture of innovation and problem-solving with comprehensive CS knowledge and skills.
