This project develops and implements a professional learning approach that introduces grades 3-5 teachers in low-income schools to CT, supports their understanding of the math and science they teach, and supports the integration of CT into their math and science instruction. This project hopes to create teacher-developed project-based or design thinking lessons; a longitudinal understanding of teacher professional learning for promoting CT in the elementary grades, a scalable professional learning model, and a set of video teaching cases that offer teachers models of how to implement CT lessons in ways that recognize a variety of student thinking strategies.
