Session 59: Planning Your Year

35 minutes

discussion-based

Purpose

The goals of this session are twofold:

  • To emphasize the importance of future workshops, especially Workshop 1 where participants will be introduced to a new pedagogical tool used throughout the programming lessons in the curriculum as well as learn key computer science content.
  • To provide participants with space to reflect on their next steps and to make a plan for pacing during the upcoming school year.

Objectives

  • Participants understand the topics for the upcoming academic year workshops.
  • Participants have recorded items they want to research or understand further after this workshop.
  • Participants have looked at pacing and planning for the curriculum for the 21-22 school year.

Supplies & Prep

Room Setup

  • Normal breakout room setup

(3 minutes) Professional Learning Overview

Facilitator Tip

Add dates to the slides if the dates for the academic year workshops have been decided.

We also have 4 more workshops after this to reconnect:

  • Workshop 1: Covers Unit 4 - Introduction to Programming and introduces a new approach to pedagogy for teaching programming that will be used in all subsequent programming units.
  • Workshop 2: Covers Units 5 and 6 On more advanced programming tools, algorithms, and a hackathon project.
  • Workshop 3: Units 7 and 8 on a programming tool called libraries and dives deep into the Create Performance Task.
  • Workshop 4: Units 9 and 10 on data and cyber security.

Throughout the Academic Year Workshops, we will also be revisiting your commitment to equity that you made this morning and spend more time with the equity framework as we continue to understand our context, role and responsibility, and the barriers and opportunities you have as part of the CS education community.

We strongly recommend that you attend all of these but in particular Workshop 1 is very important because it will go over the pedagogy for the following programming units. We are really excited about the new pedagogy we are using in these units, but it is best learned through the experience of doing the activities - this is the focus of that first workshop. Make every effort to attend.

Planning your Year (30 minutes)

(1 minute) Review this week

This week we have:

  • Experienced one lesson as a teacher
  • Experienced 12 lessons as learners
  • Covered three Units worth of material
  • Used new widgets and tools
  • Made an app
  • Made a plan to help increase student access to CS
  • Thought about the role of the teacher in unplugged and plugged lessons

(8 minutes) Planning next steps

The rest of this time is designated for you to plan your year. Turn to page 42 in your Curriculum Guide to find the Planning Your Year organizer. Remind participants of the date of the AP Multiple Choice Exam and the date the Create Performance Task needs to be uploaded.

(8 minutes) Have participants complete Part 1: Plans for further exploration in the Planning Your Year organizer.

3 minutes: Participants fill out the organizer individually
2 minutes: Pair
3 minutes: Share

(22 minutes) Planning the Year

Remarks

(2 minutes) For part 2, it may be helpful to discuss your plans with someone on a similar daily schedule than yourself. For example, does anyone here teach on the block schedule? (Get hands up in the air) It might be helpful for you to plan together. Does anyone else teach in a non-standard schedule? (Try to connect individuals who have a similar building schedule).

(20 minutes) You can decide to work together if you like, but you have the next 20 minutes to do parts 2 and 3. For part 3, it might be helpful for you to have your school calendar out for planning.

Give participants reminders for timing during this section. For participants who have 45 minute classes, part 2 will not be relevant to them. In general though, everyone should be on part 3 within 5-10 minutes.
