Element F1: Teachers' Efforts to Educate Students' Families

Element F1: Teachers' Efforts to Educate Students' Families

Description: I create opportunities for my students' families to learn about CT and to understand how I am integrating CT across the curriculum within my classroom.

What effective implementation looks like:

  • Over the course of the school year I provide students' parents or guardians with opportunities to learn about CT and how I am applying CT skills across the curriculum in their classrooms, such as sending home parent letters or discussing CT integration during parent-teacher meetings
  • I clearly articulate to students' parents or guardians my vision for CT integration across the curriculum and articulate how their students will apply CT in alignment with other content standards for problem framing and problem solving using a computer or as a creative activity for generating ideas and products
  • I regularly share with my students' parents or guardians samples of classwork, through plugged or unplugged activities

Self-Reflection Question: Do I provide multiple opportunities for my students' families to learn how CT is being integrated across the curriculum? What are some ways I can share examples of students' work and progress in how they are applying CT skills with their families? What support do I need to engage families?
