Description

This course provides an introduction to the theory and practice of teaching Computer Science in middle and secondary classrooms, in particular in ways that take into account the needs and expectations of diverse learners in a multicultural society. As such, a variety of teaching methods will be explored and practiced. The course focuses on participants' on-going inquiry and reflection of field experiences.  Participants will connect observed teaching practices, experiences of learners within the major components of the computer science curriculum, and the relationship and impact of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks on best practices.  All students must be in a pre-practicum field placement or be a teacher of record.
