Teaching Methods in Computer Science
EDS-X324D
Overview:
In this self-paced, start anytime, online course learn teaching methods specific to Computer Science.. Counts toward the CA Supplementary Authorization in Computer Science. Learn the Use-Modify-Create approach for teaching programming, develop debugging expertise, create differented programming assignments, and more from a world-renowned computing education expert with 15+ years of teaching.
What you'll learn
Develop effective, equitable CS teaching practices
Computer Science teachers are in demand as 34 states have defined K-12 Computer Science Standards. Ninety percent of parents want their child to take computer science, but only 45% of high schools teach it.
Just as critically, girls and underrepresented students are far less likely to enroll even if a Computer Science course exists at their school. Prepare to develop equitable and effective computer science classrooms as well as approaches for leading computing education efforts in your area.
Modify and create differentiated programming assignments using the Use-Modify-Create approach (PRIMM and TIPP&SEE) which supports students in scaffolding the program-writing process.
Learn about techniques to support continued growth as a CS teacher including time management, choosing appropriate programming languages/environments, developing programming projects, teaching impacts of technology, use of daily warmups, finding and joining a CS teacher community.
