Element A2: Teacher Content Knowledge of CT Concepts, Practices, and Perspectives

Element A2: Teacher Content Knowledge of CT Concepts, Practices, and Perspectives

Description: Teachers are knowledgeable about the concepts, practices, and principles of CT that are developmentally appropriate for elementary-aged learners.

What effective implementation looks like:

  • I frequently model using CT concepts and practices in my daily language with students to complete routine classroom tasks. I acknowledge CT concepts and approaches when I see them practiced by my students
  • I routinely demonstrate a command of CT concepts, practices, and perspectives through questioning and explanations to my students
  • I can articulate a clear definition of CT concepts and practices consistently when asked about it

Self-Reflection Question: Do I have a strong understanding of CT concepts, practices, and principles? Do I feel confident and prepared in my ability to teach CT practices and concepts and integrate them 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?
