Tips and Strategies for Teaching Computer Science

Session Description:
Are you new to teaching computer science, but not sure where to start? Join Kimberly Muñoz as she shares her story of how she began teaching computer science and where she collected useful resources to teach the principles of computer science, including programming languages, to help her create engaging lessons for her students. You will also walk away with a treasure trove of ideas for curriculum, lessons, and activities (some paid and some free) that will give you the tools you need to effectively teach computer science in your school. Some of these resources will also be helpful for any teacher that is preparing students for the AP Computer Science A Exam.

Learning Objectives:

Explain where to find useful resources to teach the principles of computer science, including programming languages, to create engaging lessons for your students.

Discover curriculum, lessons, and activities (some paid and some free) that will give you the tools you need to effectively teach computer science in your school.

Assessment: Participants will join a collaborative backchannel chat and discuss computer science resources to demonstrate their understanding of the session objectives and reflect on their learning.
