Our center’s commitment to building the capacity of education stakeholders to develop and deliver high-quality, evidence-based instruction and learning opportunities is a point of pride. To support and shape best practices within and beyond educational contexts, the Center for Effective School Practices creates professional resources that aim to bolster practitioners’ abilities to improve learning among individuals, teams, groups, and entire institutions.
Now Available: Computer Science Instructional Resources
Through an Education, Innovation, and Research (EIR) award from the United States Department of Education, the Extending the Computer Science Pipeline project engaged middle school educators teaching computer science and related courses. Participating educators received hands-on technical assistance and professional learning as they developed high-quality instructional resources to engage all learners in rigorous and relevant computer science instruction. Lesson packages, practice guides, professional learning and other project resources are all available for free!
