Element B6: Access to Professional Development Resources and Materials
Element B6: Access to Professional Development Resources and Materials
Description: Teachers are (1) aware of and have access to CT-related resources beyond the school and (2) integrate those resources into their own teaching and share them with other stakeholders (e.g., other teachers, a professional development provider, or administrator).
What effective implementation looks like:
- Other school personnel, such as the STEM teacher, librarian, or IT support, have access to and provide me with a variety of teaching and learning resources, such as online applications for students to use
- My school regularly shares opportunities for me to interact with the wider local community of CS/CT educators (e.g., by attending coding or robotics workshops for teachers), collect teaching and learning resources, and introduce them to my immediate school community
Self-Reflection Question: What support and resources do I need to achieve my integration goals?

SECTION C: Curriculum Features and Lesson/Unit Planning
Teachers should be able to create new or modify existing rigorous curriculum materials to suit their needs and for the purposes of integrating a focus on CT into multiple subjects and for differentiating instruction depending on learners' needs.
