Teaching Code

All teachers can teach coding. This is why we provide easy-to-follow and understandable resources for teachers without needing previous coding or computer science experience.

Teachers Learning Code is designed to help K–12 teachers with little to no coding experience be able to teach coding fundamentals in the classroom with confidence! We provide lesson plans, workshops and other helpful technology education resources to ensure all educators from all disciplines are set up for success.

The K-12 Computer Science Framework

Although learning how to build digital projects is a key part of Computer Science education, students should also learn a wider set of skills and competencies that will help them to harness the power of digital technologies as both creators and consumers. A comprehensive approach to K-12 Computer Science education includes learning about the following five focus areas:

Programming

By the end of high school, students should be able to create a simple computer program.

Computing and Networks

By the end of high school, students should understand and be able to use the tools and devices commonly used to build digital projects.

Data

By the end of high school, students should be able to explain how we use computers to create, store, organize, and analyze data.

Technology and Society

By the end of high school, students should be able to explore the ways in which technology and society have mutually shaped each other.

Design

By the end of high school, students should be able to apply design principles to the digital projects they create.
