Computer Science: Pedagogy and Practice
Overview
This course focuses on principles and practice of equity by design in computer science curriculum, instruction and assessment. This course provides a deep dive into research-based best practices for teaching computer science. Through lived experiences, classroom exercises, relevant readings, hands-on activities, students will continue to develop and refine their approaches to teaching computer science across the curriculum. Designing computer science lessons for equity and assessment strategies will be explored along with continued development of programming skills.
