COMPUTER SCIENCE FUNDAMENTALS TRAINING PROGRAM - Original Format 2014-2017


Welcome to the Philadelphia Area 
Code.Org Curriculum Training Site

Hello Everyone!


Welcome to the most recent session of the 

Code.Org K-5 Curriculum Training in Pennsylvania!

(MI, DE, WV, NY, FL, OH too!)

Each participant will be able to…
Participants will learn how to teach computer science skills such as critical thinking, logic, persistence and creativity in problem-solving aligned to all subject areas.

The course design and the instructor methods to accomplish this objective are…
Computer science and computational thinking skills will be addressed through hands-on "unplugged" and online activities, including computer programming and coding. Skills of a computer scientist through the computational thinking practices of creativity, collaboration, communication, persistence and problem solving will be emphasized. Computer science themes of algorithms, data, abstraction, computing practice and programming, computers and communication devices, and community, global and ethical impacts.

Participants will demonstrate they know and understand this objective by…
Participants will take part in Teacher/Learner/Observer (TLO) style activities, reviewing and teaching lessons as part of the training. Participants will receive feedback on their performance, as well as resources for improvement.

Recruiting Students To Your Class!

Excerpt from discussion about High-Stakes Testing and Curriculum in Schools from Community Breakout Room during TeacherCon (PHL)



The argument that CS takes a backseat to other curriculums is the common misconception that is directly refuted by the Code.Org movement.  I agree with the presenter that spoke about this during the open conversation, but the basic tenets we should espouse as facilitators and code.org “disciples” is that when you look at our curriculum as purely Computer Science or Coding, most people think it should be relegated to the computer lab as a special class.  Code.org challenges us to make sure that every educator comes to believe that it belongs in every other subject and across the school-wide curriculum specifically to REACH EVERY CHILD OF EVERY BACKGROUND!  When viewed through that lense, every student should be exposed to it.  Since 2013 that movement has started, so the exposure and awareness of it should naturally lead to more students requesting it, and more students of diversity joining our classes.  We are only at the beginning of what should be a huge wave of students, from every walk of life, learning to code!
