Element C1: Development of Teacher Lesson Plans and Activities

Element C1: Development of Teacher Lesson Plans and Activities

Description: Teachers revise existing lessons, units, and materials to include a focus on CT integration across subject areas and that are aligned with state CS/CT standards as well as state content standards. Teachers create new lessons, activities, units and materials that integrate CT within a subject area, are aligned with state CS/CT standards.

What effective implementation looks like:

  • Activities and lessons I revise or create accurately reflect the school and district's vision for CT integration
  • The activities and lesson plans allow students multiple opportunities (in a year and across grades) to apply CT concepts and practices to specific subject areas and reflect a spiral curriculum that allows students to revisit concepts and practices at multiple points and across grades to address increasingly challenging problems or to generate increasingly complex ideas and products
  • The lessons and activities are structured to explicitly identify the CT concept, practice, or approach within the subject and are well-designed for the purposes of enabling students to connect and apply CT and subject-specific concepts and skills
  • The lessons and activities include opportunities for questioning, reflection, and formative strategies that enable me to assess students' application of the CT concepts, practices or approaches
  • The lessons and activities I implement have a range of instructional strategies for the purposes of addressing the particular needs and interests of individual learners and groups of students

Self-Reflection Question: How confident am I in designing or revising and implementing my own lessons, activities and/or units for CT integration across the curriculum? Are my lessons aligned to subject-area standards and relevant state CS/CT standards? Do my lessons provide students with opportunities to apply CT concepts, skills and practices to both plugged and unplugged activities? What support do I need to design and implement standards-aligned curriculum?
