Let’s revisit your intentions from Day 1.
Do you have any questions that haven't been answered that are blocking you from making a plan to get started with CS Fundamentals?
Have your intentions changed now that you know more about the course?

What do you hope to get out of this workshop? | What do you plan to do with CS Fundamentals and your students? | What kinds of support do you need to be more effective? |
Ideas for how to better provide scaffolding for students during coding instruction. | Kick off CS Week w/ hour of code (2 weeks), do 1 code.org lesson/month, coding using dash robots | 1-to-1 district. Every student needs a device. |
I hope to work with my grade level to find ways to implement coding lessons into our current curriculum. | Use CS Fundamentals in the current curriculum to enrich and support student learning. | Each student need a 1 to 1 device. |
Working with my grade level and finding ways to best utilize coding within our curriculum. | Use in the current curriculum to supplement and enrich | Having more devices to use 1:1 in my classroom |

What do you hope to get out of this workshop? | What do you plan to do with CS Fundamentals and your students? | What kinds of support do you need to be more effective? |
To obtain strategies for incorporating coding in our curriculum. | I intend to obtain the necessary tools for planning and implementing engaging coding lessons. | In order to successfully infuse coding into our curriculum, it is necessary for all students to have their own device. |
To learn how to embed code.org into kindergarten curriculum | Implement useful information with appropriate tools | 1-1 computer devices for students in order to model and have students work at the same time and learn together step by step |
To gain a better understanding as to how to embed code.org into small group instruction with students who receive SPED services | I plan to help assist students in bettering their understanding of the resources/tools available | In order to effectively implement this 1:1 devices for students would be beneficial |

To see how to implement code.org in the classroom. | Review applicable vocabulary for coding to support student understanding of concepts. | Devices and chromebooks for all students in the school. |
I hope to get more understanding of how this will work with my subject area. | At this time I am unsure of how I will implement this. | It would be helpful to discuss this with other members of my department so we can move forward with this together. Devices for all students would be a big help. |
I’m looking to find new and innovative ways to incorporate coding into our curriculum. | I’m unsure of how to implement CS Fundamentals at this time, but through collaboration with other colleagues I’m confident that I will find a way. | It would be helpful if we had devices/chromebooks for all students. |

To gain knowledge on how to integrate this in my daily teaching. | Follow up with lessons that are already being taught in media classes. | 1-1 devices for each student at the elementary level would be beneficial for whole class implementation |
To feel more comfortable using code.org with my students and incorporate during school day. | Spend more time with the vocabulary and follow the curriculum targets. | More computers since we are not 1-1 with devices. |
Figure out what code.org is. | | |

Context: Implementation Plan
14
What we are about to do:
Work in grade level groups to make a plan for getting started with CS Fundamentals, whatever that means for you.
Feel free to write in your journal or type up your plans, but you should get them in writing.
Share out your plans, provide feedback, and discuss ideas to augment each other’s plans.

Getting answer to questions
What questions do you have? Where can you find answers those questions?
Coordinating
Is there anyone at your school you need to work with in order to start teaching CS Fundamentals? (reserving spaces, integrate into lessons, etc) When can you talk to those people?
Scheduling
When could CS Fundamentals fit into the schedule (either your own or for the teachers you support)? What needs to happen between now and then to make offering the course possible?
Share Your Plan!
If you’re at a place where you can stop and share:
Add any notes to your own plan based on feedback and ideas you’ve gotten from other teachers.

Implementation Plan - “Others”
27
What is your plan to get started with CS Fundamentals? | What additional supports do you need? | Other |
To use the language and vocabulary within our ASC lessons and verbal directions. For example: using the drag and drop skill as we implement Lexia and have the students practice to take SBAC, applying the sequencing skill the practice on code.org in our reading lessons. | One to one technology, an easier way to transport devices to and from school, classroom to classroom and keeping them charged. Access to the student website so that teachers can see how it looks for the students. | Time to implement these skills within our school day and in all subject areas. The computerized assessments help the practice for the online district screeners The students have the ability to start a new project which teaches the students to begin something and continue to add to it over time. This will prepare then for the projects that will be completed in school. For example: animal research project using slides, all about me projects |
