Description

Teaching programming to K-12 students is about more than just coding - it's about developing essential skills in logical thinking and problem-solving. However, there's growing anxiety among teachers about preparing their students for the increasingly pervasive world of computing.

This comprehensive guide provides a practical solution for every K-12 teacher who wants to teach computer science and programming effectively at any grade level. With 26 chapters covering foundational concepts, practices, and well-researched pedagogies, this A-to-Z handbook offers concrete ideas and rich examples inspired by practice and research.

Readers will gain insights into the two key building blocks of effective teaching: what content to teach and how to teach it. Perspectives and experiences from educators and scholars who are actively practicing and/or examining the teaching of computer science and programming in K-12 classrooms add valuable depth to this essential resource.
