Computer Science in K-12: An A-to-Z Handbook on Teaching Programming (Black & White Edition) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is an essential, enduring, practical guide for every K-12 teacher anywhere who is either teaching or planning to teach computer science and programming at any grade level. Coding teaches our students the essence of logical thinking and problem solving while also preparing them for a world in which computing is becoming increasingly pervasive. While there’s excitement and enthusiasm about programming becoming an intrinsic part of K-12 curricula the world over, there’s also a growing and crucial need to prepare teachers to teach effectively at all grade levels. Readers will discover:❖ An A-to-Z organization that affords comprehensive insight into teaching introductory programming.❖ 26 chapters that cover foundational concepts, practices and well-researched pedagogies related to teaching introductory programming as an integral part of K–12 computer science. Cumulatively these chapters address the two salient building blocks of effective teaching of introductory programming—what content to teach (concepts and practices) and how to teach (pedagogy).❖ Concrete ideas and rich grade-appropriate examples inspired by practice and research for classroom use.❖ Perspectives and experiences shared by educators and scholars who are actively practicing and/or examining the teaching of computer science and programming in K-12 classrooms.

About the Author
Dr. Shuchi Grover is a senior research scientist atLooking Glass Ventures and a visiting scholar at Stanford University. Her current research is focused on teaching and learning of computerscience, computational thinking, and programming in schools. Itencompasses the design of curricula and assessments for all levels ofpreK-12 CS education, as well as the integration of computing and coding in STEM and other subjects. She has led, and continues to lead, severallarge research projects (often in collaboration with universities andresearch organizations) with grants from the US National ScienceFoundation and other federal agencies. She also consults globally onprojects related to K-12 CS, programming, and computationalthinking education. In addition to publishing her research in leadingacademic journals, Shuchi is active in teacher outreach. She regularlycollaborates withK-12 CS teachers and authors articles aimed at wideraudiences beyond the research community. Over the past decade, she hasserved on the National K-12 Computer Science Framework team, task forcesof the Computer Science Teachers' Association, the ACM Education Advisory Committee (2018-present), and the editorial board of the ACMTransactions on Computing Education (2015-present).
Shuchi's educational journey includes undergraduate and graduate degrees incomputer science, an Ed.M. in Technology in Education from HarvardUniversity, and a Ph.D. in Learning Sciences and Technology Designfrom Stanford University. She lives in Palo Alto, California, where sheloves to crochet and garden in her spare time.[Twitter: @shuchig, Website: shuchigrover.com]
From the Back Cover
Coding teaches our students the essence of logical thinking and problem solving while also preparing them for a world in which computing is becoming increasingly pervasive. While there's excitement and enthusiasm about programming becoming an intrinsic part of K-12 curricula the world over, there's also growing concern about preparing teachers to teach effectively at all grade levels.
This book is an enduring, practical guide for every K-12 CS teacher anywhere who is either teaching or planning to teach programming at any grade level. To this end, readers will discover:
- ❖ An A-to-Z organization that affords comprehensive insight into teaching introductory programming.
- ❖ 26 chapters that cover foundational concepts, practices and well-researched pedagogies related to teaching introductory programming as an integral part of K-12 computer science. Cumulatively these chapters address the two salient building blocks of effective teaching of introductory programming--what content to teach (concepts and practices) and how to teach (pedagogy).
- ❖ Concrete ideas and rich grade-appropriate examples inspired by practice and research for classroom use.
- ❖ Perspectives and experiences shared by educators and scholars who are actively practicing and/or examining the teaching of computer science and programming in K-12 classrooms.

- This collection represents the best of how we (researchers, developers, and teachers of computing) think about what computing teachers need to know...I have no doubt that all computing educators will find this book useful in their own classrooms.
--MARK GUZDIAL, Professor, University of Michigan - It is increasingly clear that computer science is foundational for every student to learn. Shuchi Grover does a beautiful job of bringing together viewpoints from across the wide landscape of CS education to make this new
subject accessible for K-12 educators.
--HADI PARTOVI, Co-founder and CEO, Code.org - This timely book is laser-focused on K-12 computer science teachers: what concepts should our students learn, and how can we help them learn? Its authors are world-leading computer scientists and educators involved in K12-CS, and the book is deeply rooted in the best research we know. But the focus throughout is practical: the opportunities and challenges of the classroom. No computing teacher should be without it.
--SIMON PEYTON JONES, Chair of Computing at School, England | Microsoft Research, Cambridge
