Computing Integrated Teacher Education (CITE) @ CUNY

Computing Integrated Teacher Education is a four-year initiative to support CUNY faculty at all ranks to integrate state standards aligned computing content and pedagogy into required education courses, field work and student teaching. Supported by public funding from the New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE) Computer Science for All (CS4All) program and private funding from the Robin Hood Learning + Technology Fund, the initiative will focus on building on and complementing the success of NYCDOE CS4All and pilots to integrate computational thinking at Queens College, Hunter College and Hostos Community College.

The initiative focuses on:
– Supporting institutional change in teacher education programs
– Building faculty computing pedagogical content knowledge through the lens of culturally response-sustaining education
– Supporting faculty research in equitable computing education, inclusive STEM pedagogies, and effects on their students’ instructional practices

  • My reflection on my remix of the activity: 

    The main change I made was when asking students to share a mindset card that was important to them, I asked them not to repeat a card that had previously been shared by a classmate. Even though people may not be able to share their most preferred mindsets, this change would allow the class to fully review all the mindsets prior to their team activity.

    Reflection of the Activity

    I think it is important to get students to visualize and then share their ideas to come to a common goal.  This way they are able to think a little bit more creatively and critically.  Then, hearing different ideas they can come to a common understanding together of their chosen mind card.
