SCRIPT does not presume participants are experts or have taught computer
science. The language and process is neutral. The process involves districts
assessing themselves on five different rubrics, including curriculum,
leadership and teacher capacity. As district teams go through those rubrics,
you create 3 month, 6 month and long term goals for CS in your district
- using resources you already have.
The key thing about SCRIPT is looking for ways to integrate CS
into existing structures. CSforAll understands CS education will not
survive if it's presented as "one more thing" for teachers to do.
Instead, we identify ways to leverage existing courses, structures and
processes that CS education can enhance.
Please share this with anyone else in your district who might be interested. To sign up, one person per district needs to fill out the interest form - linked below or the Apply Now button on Project>Login's events page.
If you plan on
attending, please fill out the interest form here so
we can reserve your spot as this event could fill up.
Last, if there are any barriers preventing you from participating, please let
me know so I can see what can be done. Travel and lodging can be covered, and subs
can potentially be paid for.
Thank you - Andy Wallace ([log in to unmask])
