With Computer Science Education Week (December 4-10) right around the corner, we want to make sure everyone knows about these two resources from CSTA and CSforAll Consortium.
Computer Science Education Week Advocacy Menu
From CSTA, with support from ECEP and Code.org, comes the CSEdWeek Advocacy Menu, which is designed to give CS teachers ideas and resources for using CSEdWeek as a springboard for building CS education awareness in your school and community. The Computer Science Education Week Advocacy Menu is a PDF that can be downloaded and shared. —Download Now!
The SCRIPT by CSforAll Consortium
Keep the momentum from CSEdWeek going by working with your school or district, using the SCRIPT, to build a sustainable CS education program and make every week CSEdWeek!
The SCRIPT — the School CSforALL Resource & Implementation Planning Tool — is a new initiative of the Consortium that will serve as a framework and platform to guide Consortium and district staff in the creation of CSforALL implementation plans that adhere to CSforALL values and reflect the unique needs and goals of any school district. The SCRIPT engages school districts in self reflection, review of examples, and goal setting for 6 areas designed from the literature supporting curriculum adoption and organizational change. These areas are: (1) Leadership, (2) Technology Infrastructure, (3) Teacher Capacity and Development, (4) Curriculum and Materials Selection and Refinement, (5) Partners, and (6) Community.
