Coding has become an essential component of today’s technological world. Coding is computer literacy that enables the user to have complete control of the technology. It also prepares students for the future by supporting their development of STEM skills such as communication, creativity, and critical thinking. I am prepared to motivate and support my students’ development of coding skills to prepare them for the future. I am requesting a week long professional development class to help equip me with the skills needed to engage my students in coding. I will be introduced to Tynker's platform, curriculum, and approach to assessment; foundational Computer Science concepts; coding pedagogy; best practices for building inclusive classrooms; and ideas for fostering creativity.
