Designed to help teachers put instructional theory, especially as it relates to computer science education, into practice. It will provide an integrated coverage of methods of computer science classroom instruction, management, and assessment. Includes lesson construction, practice teaching, in class exercises, discussion of readings, and micro-teaching. Students will leave with an understanding of applying computational thinking practices to the teaching process, addressing common barriers to CS with a focus on equity and diversity in CS classrooms, strategies to create a collaborative and inquiry-based learning environment, and best practices for assessment of computer science learning.
