Virtual Module 2: Wrap Up Unit 4 and Collaboration in CSP

Module 2 covers the remaining content covered in Academic Year Workshop 1 not covered in the Virtual Module 1.

Goals and Objectives for Module 2

The Goals and Objectives document for Module 2 can be found here. This document can be used to help you understand how our goals and objectives connect and build between sessions. This may also be a valuable resource to you as you consider any adjustments you decide to make to the agenda based on your local needs.

Finally, you will notice that Module 1 and 2 combined cover the same goals and objectives as those in the in-person Academic Year Workshop 1.

What you need to know before starting your synchronous workshop

What is in the asynchronous work?

Note for the Producer

For this workshop, participants should bring their typical materials, including:

  • Their Curriculum Guide if they have a physical copy available
  • A journal or some place to write and something to write with

No other additional materials are necessary.

Prior to your synchronous workshop with participants, participants should have engaged in a set of asynchronous work for Module 2 that included:

  • Completing levels from the Variables Practice lesson in Unit 4, Lesson 3.
  • Reviewing the resources and student task from the Variables Make lesson in Unit 4, Lesson 4.
  • Reflecting on the role of collaboration and independent work in programming lessons.

How does the asynchronous work connect to the synchronous workshop?

Participants who complete the asynchronous work will have:

  • Seen a full EIPM sequence involving variables.
  • Started to develop a framework for considering when, where, and how you want to encourage collaboration in your classroom during programming lessons.
  • Submitted questions in the Module 2 Slides prior to the synchronous workshop.

What do I need to do prior to the workshop?

  1. Read the group reflections and questions submitted during the asynchronous work for Module 2. It is important to note that in the Workshop Opener of the synchronous workshop, there is a spot for to address questions that were submitted in the shared slides for Module 2.
  2. Make a copy of the Module 2 Slides and add the the relevant content on slides with a "stop sign" on them. This indicates that you need to update the content on the slides.
  3. Meet with your co-facilitator and producer to discuss the agenda and reflect on prior feedback on the Workshop Dashboard.

Agenda Walkthrough Resources

Over the course of Modules 1 and 2 you will be developing a narrative around both content and equity as participants reflect on the role they play as the teacher in both of these areas. In order to develop this narrative for your cohort, we have pulled out the essential content and equity threads in this module. This information can also be used to help you make informed decisions when modifying workshop activities to adjust to the needs of your cohort.

Below are a set of resources to help you get a sense of the flow of the workshop and key things to prepare for.

  • Goals and Objectives
    This resource provides a high-level overview of the goals for the day and where we meet those goals in individual sessions.

  • Equity Content Overview
    This resource calls out places in the agenda where facilitators lead discussions and activities that are tied to our equity objectives.

  • Essential Content
    This resource points to which lessons are referenced in different points of the workshop.
