awesome!! It sounds like you may not need the resources, but Sara pointed out a bunch of resources around culturally responsive teaching and learning with Scratch and problem solving with Scratch. They may be useful to you and/or your students 🙂

We’d love to help you think through some of those revisions if its helpful. Fridays at 9:30a we have open CoP/help sessions and happy to jump in to specifics with you then if the time works.

Oh this resonates with a problem of practice we have centrally which is funders asking us to show impact in clinical placements. What you are describing is one of many of the issues around clinical placement we are seeing across CUNY. Perhaps the next stage of the work should focus on supporting this aspect of the work since seeing things in…[Read more]

There are so many reasons why one tutorial, video, blog post, etc. might work for one person and not another – the pacing, the organization, the problem the person is trying to solve, the mental…[Read more]
