Learn to Code

IMAGINE – if starting in grammar school, students learned to code! Today such an online training program exists – reaching students -at their skill-level, in their schools and in ways that inspire them to keep learning.

Originally CODE.org was focused on high school students. In 2013, less than 10% of the US high schools offered a computer science course. But educators using Scratch (a similar effort built by MIT) and Code.org felt that students needed to begin to code at a younger age. Too many students were being “left behind”. So CODE.org worked with educators to develop a grammar/middle school curriculum guide, with classroom lesson plans.

The educators designed the Computer Science (CS) Fundamentals Curriculum Guide. This curriculum previewed in 2018-19.

CS Fundamentals was built with grammar/middle school educators and students in mind. No prior experience is expected. The lessons in CS Fundamentals are presented with the understanding that many teachers have no previous computer science training. Educators are encouraged to learn along with their students.

Course A: beginners, early-readers (ages 4-6). Course B: beginners, readers (ages 6+). Course C: prerequisite is Course B (ages 8+). Courses D, E and F (ages 10+) all have as a prerequisite the previous courses. With just 12 lessons a year for first three courses, this curriculum easily runs on our existing Haiti school computer labs.

As the lessons become more involved, in Courses D, E and F, the number of lessons increase from 12 to 20. Outside activities are planned and available to support learning. A Google search on CSF_Curriculum_Guide_2018-19 will find the Curriculum Overview, the Course Guides and Individual Lesson Plans.

In 2023, and 2024 -educators selected Code.org for Best-in-Class and Best of STEM Awards. (STEM is an approach to learning and development that integrates the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.)

Syans Enfòmatik K-12

Aprann Kòd

IMAJINE – si yo kòmanse nan lekòl gramè, elèv yo te aprann kòd! Jodi a, yon pwogram fòmasyon sou entènèt sa a egziste – rive jwenn elèv – nan nivo konpetans yo, nan lekòl yo ak nan fason ki enspire yo kontinye aprann.

Okòmansman, CODE.org te konsantre sou elèv lekòl segondè yo. An 2013, mwens pase 10% nan lekòl segondè ameriken yo te ofri yon kou syans enfòmatik. Men, edikatè ki te itilize Scratch (yon efò MIT te konstwi) ​​ak Code.org te santi ke elèv yo te bezwen kòmanse code nan yon laj pi piti. Twòp elèv yo te “kite dèyè”. Se konsa, CODE.org te travay ak edikatè yo pou devlope yon gid kourikoulòm gramè/lekòl presegondè, ak plan leson nan salklas.

Edikatè yo te kreye Gid Kourikoulòm Fondamantal Syans Enfòmatik (CS). Kourikoulòm sa a te prevwa nan ane 2018-19.

CS Fondamantal yo te bati ak edikatè gramè/eskolè mwayen ak elèv yo nan tèt ou. Pa gen eksperyans anvan yo espere. Leson yo nan CS Fondamantal yo prezante ak konpreyansyon ke anpil pwofesè pa gen okenn fòmasyon anvan syans enfòmatik. Yo ankouraje edikatè yo aprann ansanm ak elèv yo.

Kou A: débutan, lektè bonè (laj 4-6). Kou B: débutan, lektè (ki gen laj 6+). Kou C: kondisyon avan se kou B (ki gen laj 8+). Kou D, E ak F (ki gen laj 10+) tout gen kòm yon kondisyon anvan yo. Avèk sèlman 12 leson pa ane pou twa premye kou, kourikoulòm sa a fasilman mache sou laboratwa òdinatè nou an Ayiti ki egziste deja.

Kòm leson yo vin pi plis patisipe, nan kou D, E ak F, kantite leson ogmante soti nan 12 a 20. Aktivite deyò yo planifye epi yo disponib pou sipòte aprantisaj. Yon rechèch Google sou CSF_Curriculum_Guide_2018-19 pral jwenn Apèsi sou kourikoulòm lan, Gid kou yo ak Plan leson endividyèl yo.

An 2023, ak 2024, edikatè yo te chwazi Code.org pou prim pi bon nan klas ak pi bon nan STEM. (STEM se yon apwòch aprantisaj ak devlopman ki entegre domèn syans, teknoloji, jeni ak matematik.)
