Session 50: Planning

75 minutes

discussion-based

Purpose

Teachers think about what questions they still have. Teachers are given time to take out their schedule and look at timeline of the course for them. They can think about assessment or other things they want to start digging into. Mostly work time.

Objectives

  • Make an action plan for getting through the first month of school
  • Teachers have time to prep for fall.

Supplies & Prep

Room Setup:

  • Normal Breakout Room Set Up
  • Consider grouping teachers with similar planning needs (example: everyone teaching in a semester format)

(3 min) Preamble

While showing the accompanying slide:

Remarks

We’ve now done 11 lessons from across units 1,2 and 3, looked at how to use key practices in the curriculum, talked about how to engage diverse learners, made a plan for planting the recruitment seed, talking about barriers with engaging stakeholders, and shared strategies to support students. That’s a LOT to do in a week, so pat yourselves on the back :)

With lots of exploration often comes lots of questions. We are going to spend some time now to try to address any remaining questions. We’re also going to spend this time together making a plan for getting to the start of the year, and talking about how we can support one another and what Code.org and your facilitators can do to support you.

(5 minutes) Seed Question Parking Lot

Do one more call for questions or needs that teachers have. Have them write them down on post it notes. Collect the questions and consider how to address them while they work on their action plan.

(20 minutes) Action Plan

Have teachers open the Curriculum Guide and read through page 42. This section focuses on Supplies, Materials, Tech Requirements and Suggestions for Planning for Your Year.

Using Appendix A of the Curriculum Guide, have teachers work on making an action plan for getting through the first couple months of school.

(20 min) Clean Out Question Parking Lot

  • If there are remaining questions on the Question Parking Lot address them with the room. You don't have to have an "answer" to every question but find a way to address every question. Possible ways to do this are:
    • Answer the question
    • Direct them to a resource that has the answer (Example: Teal Book to read the statement about standards mappings)
    • Giving them a way to work to answer the question with other teachers (Example: Sending a teacher to the forum if they are working on a very specific issue at their school)
    • Explaining when they will learn more about that (example: Academic Year workshops for Units 4 to 6)

(25 minutes) Personal Prep Time

Give teachers a couple suggestions of things they may want to work on. Have them find people who want to talk about similar things. They could consider:

  • Continuing their action plan
  • Calendaring their first couple months of school
  • Looking over lessons and projects in Units 1 and 2 to get more familiar with the curriculum
  • Playing around in Web Lab or Game Lab

(1 minute) Next Session Reminders

End of session reminders: Teachers will be headed from this session to lunch. Next session will start at 1pm .

Note: The session after lunch is local flex time. If teachers need to do something special to prepare or go somewhere you will want to let them know before they leave for lunch.
