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

    When I first received the cards, I thought I’d never be able to make decisions from among them because I wasn’t sure what my interests were. But then I started separating out my choices, and the reasons for my selections became clear –creative self-expression and story-telling (#16, 18, 30, 35, 43) resonated for me. I also enjoyed the game of taking and discarding cards, weighing my choices and making decisions. It was both enjoyable and instructive for me. I also appreciated reading the graphic novel, “Power On!” that was at my level, and raised issues in computing of which I had only been peripherally aware. My favorite frame is the last one, on p33, with the girl’s bangs splayed on her desk – genius!
