View CSTA 2021 session recommendations aligned to Standard 1. CS Knowledge and Skills.
Full Story
With more than 200 sessions to choose from, we know that planning for the CSTA 2021 Conference might feel a little overwhelming. This year, sessions are aligned to the CSTA Standards for CS Teachers to help you find targeted PD to address your professional learning goals.
To make it easier to find sessions, CS teacher standards resource writers have made recommendations for sessions aligned to each indicator of the standards. We will publish these recommendations for one standard each day this week. Today’s focus is Standard 1. CS Knowledge and Skills:
Effective CS teachers demonstrate and continuously develop thorough knowledge of CS content. They demonstrate proficiency with the CS concepts of the grade bands they teach, and they integrate these concepts with CS practices, including computational thinking. They also understand the progression of content before and after the grade bands they teach. The current content expectations are maintained in student standards aligned to the K-12 CS Framework.
