New York Computational Thinking Project
Since January of 2020, the focus with the New York Computational Thinking Project is working with New York City elementary public schools to integrate Computational Thinking (CT) concepts and principles within their existing core curriculums.
Central to our model is meeting teachers where they are regarding CT. Using a proprietary evaluation tool developed for this project, we identify each individual teacher’s readiness and current level of proficiency with CT to determine an individualized professional learning plan that directly supports the unique growth and development needs of each teacher.
NYC Program Overview
Through this work, we aim to increase student knowledge and skills of CT to help support student learning and achievement across core curricular areas.
It is also important for us to support learning for all types of learners (including ELL students, students with IEPs and students with lower levels of literacy) by increasing their knowledge and skills to articulate and apply computational thinking concepts and practices in one or more subject areas within their curriculum.
For additional information about the NY-CT Project in New York, please contact David Gomez at dgomez@tomorrow.org.
Expansion Plans
It is our goal to replicate this program in selected schools and communities beyond New York. To learn more about these expansion plans and/or to nominate your school or community for this program, please contact CT@tomorrow.org.
