Each module is structured around objectives that provide context and relevance for you and your students. Highlighted throughout the curriculum, Big Ideas can assist in assembling a big picture across the course.
From Scratch, to Jeroo, to Java
We provide a recommended sequence to guide new CS teachers through the year, progressing from Scratch (block-based programming) through Jeroo (an engaging object-oriented programming experience) to Java, the bulk of the course. Our modules are simple enough for the brand-new teacher to be successful, and flexible enough for experienced teachers to modify them for their classroom.
