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

    Hello – my name is Anita Ferdenzi and I am a member of the QCC Education program faculty. You may refer to me using the pronouns she, her. I am enjoying my exploration of the different links and projects in this module. Dipping in and out of the variety of resources has afforded me a a greater understanding of how the incorporation of computational thinking and the use of digital tools can enrich my practice and help reach a multitude of learning outcomes – from enhancing a students’ ability to identify, quantify, document and communicate information about important issues to using coding skills to express creative ideas and demonstrate authentic learning. In addition, it was heartwarming to see the students depicted in the videos reflect upon the positive change they experienced in their computing  self-efficacy.  I am looking forward to the next module!
