Curriculum Integration

We have identified three primary areas of focus for the PK-8 computer science curriculum:

"Computational Thinking is the thought processes involved in formulating problems and their solutions so that the solutions are represented in a form that can be effectively carried out by an information-processing agent." - Center for Computational Thinking
  • Algorithms: How do you use it to solve problems?
  • Abstraction: How do you use it to simplify complex problems?
  • Modeling: What kind of problems can it solve?

“Programming has the same relation to studying computer science as playing an instrument does to studying music or painting does to studying art.” - CSTA
  • Design: How do you use it to create a solution to a problem?
  • Code: How do you use it to solve problems?
  • Test: How does it affect solving a problem?

Infrastructure provides the building blocks that support the way people use technology to manipulate and share information in all its various forms.
  • Hardware: How does it get created? How is it changing?
  • Software: How does it get created? How is it changing?
  • Data: How does it get created? How is it impacting society?'

The PK-8 computer science curriculum based on the following resources:
  • K-12 Computer Science Framework
  • CSTA K–12 Computer Science Standards
  • code.org's CS Fundamentals
