Parking Lot and Asynchronous Work (5 minutes)

💷 (2 minutes) Clear the Question Parking Lot

Use this time to address outstanding question parking lot issues. Don't hesitate to give items from the parking lot back out to the group to answer.

💷 (1 minute) AP CS Principles Reminder

Direct interested participants to the following links:

• Registering for the AP Exam (for students)
• Bringing AP CSP to your school (for teachers)

💷 (2 minutes) Review Asynchronous work

Use the slides to guide your overview of asynchronous work for the next module. This should include:

• What participants will be asked to do
• Why it will be helpful for their teaching practice
• How we will build upon it in our next call

In this case, participants will be asked to:

• Look at the Practice and Make lessons that round out the Variables EIPM sequence.
• Consider the pros and cons of encouraging collaboration and independent work in your classroom.
• Reflect on your own experiences with independent and collaborative work as a learner.

This will help teachers prepare for teaching Unit 4 as they will have a deeper understanding of the first full EIPM sequence. Once they have a feel for what one sequence looks like, they will be better able to plan for future EIPM sequences as well.

Participants should know how to access the asynchronous work through the Digital Digest and the Module 2 slides. Model how they will access this work during this time.

During Module 2, participants are going to look at EIPM across units and talk about when and how we encourage students to work collaboratively vs independently. By engaging in the asynchronous work, participants will be more ready to make, share, and refine their plans with the community in the next call.

Remind participants how they can get support while working on the asynchronous work. This plan to support participants should be determined by you and your regional partner.

Finally remind participants of when their next call is.

Survey (5 minutes)

• If you are facilitating one module today:

  • Show the slide at the end of the deck that includes the appropriate link based on your virtual workshop model. Make sure all the teachers in your workshop take the survey before they leave.
  • During the closing session of the even-numbered modules (M2, M4, M6, M8) CLOSE THE WORKSHOP. Follow the instructions found in the Facilitator Tools Guide. If you are only facilitating an odd-numbered module today (M1, M3, M5,or M7) DO NOT CLOSE THE WORKSHOP.
    
    
    

• If you are facilitating two modules today:

  • During the closing session of the second module (M2, M4, M6, M8), show the slide at the end of the deck that includes the appropriate link based on your virtual workshop model. Make sure all the teachers in your workshop take the survey before they leave. On the workshop dashboard find your workshop and CLOSE THE WORKSHOP.

Having trouble with the survey?

If your participants get an error message when you share the survey link, please follow these steps:

1. Don’t worry! This is likely an issue with how the workshop was scheduled in the dashboard.
2. Ask your participants to take a few minutes to share their "gots and needs" in the chat. This will allow you to receive quick feedback to inform your post-workshop debrief.
3. Let participants know the survey will be coming via email within a few days, and send participants "home" for the day.
4. Contact your Regional Partner to let them know the survey link didn’t work, and ask the Regional Partner to follow-up with Code.org on the next business day.
5. Code.org will work with Regional Partner to send the survey link to teachers.
