Syllabus | Schedule

This course centers critical computational literacies as a framework for thinking about how and why we might integrate computing into K12 education, including Computer Science (CS) and artificial intelligence (AI). We explore these questions at multiple scales, ranging from individual classrooms, to the breadth and length of a student's experience in school, to how schooling is shaped by and shapes our society. At each scale, the course is designed to encourage students to reflect on their own experiences and identities, to understand their relationship to broader structures and forces, and finally to articulate their own stance as educators. This course is designed for preservice and in-service teachers, as well as doctoral students.
