Dear STEM Colleagues!
This summer we are excited to offer a new - FREE - professional learning workshop series to elementary teachers in NYC! Curricular materials have been developed over the last two years by Cornell Tech's Teacher in Residence program, and the professional learning workshops designed and delivered by STEMteachersNYC!
STEMteachersNYC invites elementary school teachers to join a unique, collaborative community over Summer 2021 and the 2021-22 school year to incorporate computational thinking into your existing curriculum!
TIME COMMITMENT: 1-Day (virtual) Launch PD workshop and a total of 12 hrs ongoing virtual support over the 2021-2022 school year.
COST: FREE to participating teams of two or more teachers joining from the same school.
EQUIPMENT NEEDS: None!
• Strengthen your school community & expand your professional network.
• Engage in cutting edge, easily implemented strategies to scaffold Computational Thinking into your teaching.
• Participating schools receive the CTEC Schools award and are invited to join all culminating events.
• School teams and supporting administrators will be offered ongoing (support) by the STEMteachersNYC team
The earlier students engage with computational thinking strategies, the more ready they are to engage with computer science fields in later years. Over the course of our one-day ‘launch’ workshop and a series of shorter working sessions over the school year, participants will engage with practical tools developed by Cornell Tech’s TIR teachers, to adapt and incorporate the Barefoot Computing Framework of computational thinking concepts and skills into your existing curriculum and your school’s long term goals.
