Session 20: Tools and Instructional Strategies

20 minutes

discussion-based

Purpose

This activity provides an opportunity for the facilitator to summarize the key elements of the Module 2, Session 2 asynchronous assignments. In particular the facilitator should address any potential misconceptions that arose in the discussion forums and highlight exemplar posts.

Objectives

  • Participants have located the resources available to them to support student learning in their classrooms
  • Participants have reflected on the role assessment plays in their classroom
  • Participants are able to locate and use applicable assessment tools and resources

Discussion Goal

Feel free to reference teacher reflection posts from the Tools and Resources activity in Session 2 if the tools do not come out naturally.

Remarks

During the Session 2 asynchronous period, you reviewed the tools and resources of Computer Science Discoveries lesson plans. Referencing resources is an industry standard practice in the field of computer science. Knowing where and how to reference resources will help students solve their own problems and expand their ability to create new things in more open-ended activities. This, however, is a skill many students will need to develop through teacher support and classroom procedures. Resources are also available for teachers to both expand their own CS knowledge and enhance their teaching practice. We are going to take some time to explore some of these resources.

Facilitator Instructions: Allow teachers to identify different tools they encountered. At minimum, participants should identify the following:

  • Help and Tips Tab
  • Drop Down Tips (Web Lab)
  • Teacher Only Notes (Discussion goals on video lessons, teacher resources on the Overview Page, etc.)
  • Teacher Panel (sample solutions, student work, student view)
  • Lesson Plans
  • Exemplars
  • Sample marked project rubrics

Discussion Goal

The goal here is to get to the main point of assessment. We want to see where students are at in their learning so we can provide them with feedback and help them improve moving forward.

(10 minutes) Assessment

Remarks

During the Session 2 asynchronous period, you also looked at Code.org’s philosophy on assessment and considered how it will look in your class.

Facilitator Instructions: Craft a discussion and slides based on the discussion forums from the asynchronous period.
