Element A1: Teacher Definition of CT and CT Integration

Description: Teachers conceptualize CT integration across the curriculum as the teaching and learning of computational thinking within the scope and sequence of major elementary content areas such that learners have repeated opportunities within and across grades to use CT for problem solving with or alongside other subject-specific practices to achieve standards or common objectives.

What effective implementation looks like:

I have my own well-articulated definition for CT integration across the curriculum that is aligned with my school and district's definition and I can articulate it clearly and consistently when asked about it
When my vision or definition of CT integration diverges from those of the administration or my school district, I am able to explain why
There is a definition I can refer to for guidance on affecting or modifying CT-integrated instruction and for analyzing student progress and learning outcomes

Self-Reflection Question: Can I articulate my own vision and definition for CT integration across the curriculum? What level of integration do I feel most comfortable implementing at this moment, and what level of integration would be most practical for me to consistently implement over time (i.e., what is my goal level of integration)? What supports do I need to help me achieve my goal?
