Shifting classroom practice to the new PA STEELS Standards is a marathon, not a sprint. Computational Thinking (CT) is a problem-solving process that enables students to think, learn and create to solve problems. CT enables students to think logically about how to organize data and breakdown the steps to solving a problem, transfer their thinking processes to a wider variety of problems, analyze key components of complex problems and generate a list of steps used to solve a problem. Open to K-12 educators, administrators, academic coaches, STEM coordinators and curriculum coordinators, this day will give participants a clear idea of how approaches to teaching and learning science, technology and engineering and environmental literacy and sustainability are shifting, as well as develop an appreciation for the shifts in thinking it will bring to the classroom. Learn lesson-ready techniques to use with any student! Lunch will be provided. Please bring a laptop and/or tablet to access online resources.
