C. Teaching statement

Define your stance as a computing educator, including your working definition of K-12 computing education and your understanding of the relationship between disciplinary content knowledge and broader goals such as culturally-sustaining pedagogy and interdisciplinary computational literacies. Describe the context in which you expect to teach computing and articulate a vision for how computing might contribute to the broader learning ecology.

A draft (a full draft or an outline) is due by the end of Week 12 (Sunday, November 15), so you can get feedback before Thanksgiving. A semi-final teaching statement is due Sunday, November 29; it goes out to the whole class to read and discuss in Week 15, so this deadline can't be extended. You may keep revising for one more week before submitting your final version for a grade by Sunday, December 6.

Assessment criteria

• Synthesis of course ideas. Your teaching statement is grounded in the broad themes of the course and makes specific reference to a broad range of course readings.
• Vision. You develop a coherent vision for how CS might contribute to or transform your local learning ecology, connecting ideas from the course to specific details of your teaching context and your identities.
