Try to use collaborative teaching time with another core

Make the large group work about celebrating mistakes (synapses only fire when mistakes are made). Encourage the entire group to collaborate and to appreciate the things that are not working — so they can be solved.

# data[].attributes.body
Pair students together to work.

# data[].attributes.body
Each lesson look for common theme/vocabulary

Have clear expectations for students to meet in the Code.org lessons which they can complete independently or paired group

Teachers who view the value of "Computer time" as their prep time only - do not really believe in the true life long value in it.

Share examples of ways programming can help people.

Just Do It! Make time to dig in a try. Just an hour of code can change perspective.

Collaborate with teachers to choose specific standards that we can focus on emphasizing.

Use stations

Link coding to activities in other content areas; e.g following a novel study students may be asked to create a board game - and they can use aspects of programming, such as , "If, Else," as a part of their board game linked to the novel.

Help teachers find ways to have the coding activities focused on other academic subjects (i.e. create a program to generate grammatically correct sentences, make a piece of art, etc).

Incorporate coding into another lesson as an output.  Students research a topic and use a product like scratch to present what they found.

Leave out something that is no longer important

The student body of each class is diverse in grade level and abilities with primary focus on learning alternative behaviors for the purpose of transitioning back into a traditional/traditional alternative classroom.

Teaching code to the class of a whole will need limited group time with larger time sequencing in activities based on student ability

Time needed to teach a standard/skill increases when adding in the programming.

Better to spread out coding skills over a whole year or go through courses 1-4 in a shorter, more systematic way?

Use stations for small groups when limited lab time or devices.

Challenge:  What is the best way to organize student accounts for the whole school so that they can be accessed by the media specialist and homeroom teachers?  Should we do it by graduation year rather than homeroom class?
