Teaching Tip

NOTE: If you are going to mix or combine CSP and CSD teachers in the next session you will need to shorten this session to allow for transition time. Transitions usually take 10-15 minutes. You can find that time by shortening the morning welcome to 10 minutes and shortening the table or group share out during the discussion.

(2 minutes) Attendance

  • Have everyone complete the attendance for the day
    • There will be a specific link for the day at your workshop
    • Check that everyone is marked as present in the online workshop dashboard

(13 minutes) Welcome

  • Overview of the day
  • Housekeeping
  • Review Gots and Needs from previous day
    • When will needs be addressed
  • Fun kick off to the day

Community Theme Kick Off (30 minutes)

Remarks

The theme today is community, so we’re going to start off by thinking about the communities that you’re a member of, and the differences between strong and healthy communities and less strong and more dysfunctional communities

(6 minutes) Identify your communities

  • Prompt: Think about the various communities you’re a part of. Make a list of 2-5 communities that you are a part of — anything from an online community to your school community or PLC.
    • Leave yourself some space between each item on your list so you can write notes later

(6 minutes) Think about characteristics of those communities

  • Prompt: Which of these communities are welcoming and comfortable for you? Which are successful in achieving their goals? Which are dysfunctional or unsuccessful?
    • Write down your thoughts under or next to community example you listed earlier

(8 minutes) Share highlights with 2 other people at your table

  • You don’t have to share about all of your communities, but share a range of examples at your tables

(8 minutes) Collective share out

  • Bounce around the room and collect a few examples of communities and characteristics

(2 minutes) Pull it together and transition to next session:

Remarks

Several of you noted the CS community as one of the key communities you’re a part of. I want to acknowledge to you all that you are part of the CS teaching community. Take a minute to think about who you are as a teacher, and what your teacher identity looked like prior to this week. Regardless of where you came in at the start of the week, I encourage you to give yourself space to try out a teacher identity that includes the word ‘computer science’

We want to be intentional about building this community, and think about the stakeholders who are invested in this community, which we’ll do in our next session
