As such, a variety of teaching methods will be explored and practiced. The course focuses on participants' on-going inquiry and reflection of field experiences. Participants will connect observed teaching practices, experiences of learners within the major components of the computer science curriculum, and the relationship and impact of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks on best practices.
