Computer Science for All
Abstract
Our project aims to prepare our military-connected students in grades PreK to 12 for college, career and community by increasing their knowledge, skills and interests through engaging in real world applications. By having students apply their learning to real world, authentic problems, projects, and experiences and learn to utilize a variety of technology tools, they will be able to explore a variety of career options, expand and deepen their interests, and bring relevance to the knowledge and skills they are gaining through their in-class learning experiences and extracurricular opportunities. The project’s activities include 1) train and prepare teachers to effectively incorporate real world application across career pathways into their curriculum and instruction, 2) enhance student individual determination and collaborative skills through application of AVID WICOR strategies and dispositions, 3) increase teacher and student access to and application of technology tools to develop computer science, computational thinking, digital literacy and 21st century skills, and 4) expand co-curricular and afterschool enrichment activities, competitions, and clubs focused on real world application. This project will help us to realize our vision where all Radford Complex students reach their full potential as responsible, literate, critical thinkers, and contributing members of our digital and global society.
