For those teachers new to Computer Science who have been charged with starting a new CS class at your school, and just don't know where to start. I'll walk you through the things you need to be considering such as which technologies, what type of curriculum, student recruitment,professional development, connecting with other CS teachers, and pedogogy.For school leaders, board members, and decision makers who need to know what Computer Science really is, what it looks like in the real world, and what it can look like in education-- this book will guide you through many of those early questions you should be asking as you consider if, how, and where Computer Science fits in your schools: What are the attributes of successful CS teachers? Where can I hire teachers? Do I have to hire |experts| in CS? How do I evaluate a project-based classroom? Are there standards? Is there training for new teachers? What proven and successful programs can I look at for ideas?For those experienced CS teachers who are just not seeing the energy, engagement, and enrollment in your classes, this book will be a wealth of innovative ideas and strategies to help you engage differently with your students. Technology today is incredibly interactive, engaging, and dynamic; your Computer Science classes should have that same feel to them. You'll see how to create a student-centered classroom where students lead their own learning. ---Lou Zulli * Technology Director * IT Instructor and Network Administrator for CAT at Lakewood High School.
