Computational Thinking 101: Embedding Problem-Solving Strategies within Everyday Classroom Instruction

January 14, 2025
SOUTH 230F
Classroom Leaders
Many district vision statements or Portraits of a Graduate include a phrase about helping students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, skills highly valued by both colleges and employers. But what does that really mean in terms of classroom instruction? Helping students develop highly effective problem-solving skills is a new equity imperative but that only happens if these experiences are embedded within all content areas. In this hands-on workshop for educators and leaders, we will introduce you to the four essential components of computational thinking as a set of problem-solving strategies that all teachers can integrate across their curriculum, and all students can master to support increased self-efficacy as a learner. Leveraging Project Tomorrow’s expertise leading professional learning and capacity development in Michigan and New York around computational thinking, participants will gain a new appreciation for how to translate those lofty vision statements into actionable classroom strategies.
