This is a 45-hour asynchronous, online course. There are no synchronous meeting times (the meeting dates listed below are the start and end dates for the course).

In order to make connections between what students learn in school and the real world, instructional materials must be relevant to the lives of our students.

When working in tandem with core curriculum subjects, connections between coding and the real world become evident. Not only can this collaboration benefit a student's computer science education, it also has the potential to enhance the core curriculum by presenting education in a different way.

Districts are encouraged to attend in teams of 2 or more members to maximize collaboration and impact, but individual educators are welcome as well! Team members must register individually.

Whether your team is refining existing initiatives or just getting started, this Think Tank provides the space to grow together.

    What do you do when you don't know what to do? "I don't know what to do” is a common refrain in math class-especially when students face unfamiliar problems or standardized test questions. Do they give up? Or do they problem solve? Unfortunately, explicit instruction in problem solving is often missing from the curriculum. In this workshop, we'll explore practical strategies and routines you can use to help your students become confident, capable problem solvers. You'll leave with concrete tools and next steps to bring more problem solving into your classroom. Together, we won't just learn how to teach problem solving-we'll become better problem solvers ourselves.
