Group Title

Computer Science for Region 8 (CS4R8), Grades K-8

Group Description

This group was created to share the computer science integrated lessons completed by facilitators and participants as part of Computer Science for Region 8 (CS4R8). CS4R8 is an Advancing Computer Science Education grant initiative from the Virginia Department of Education and partnership between Cumberland County Public Schools and Longwood University's Institute for Teaching through Technology and Innovative Practices (ITTIP). In the CS4R8 model, teachers (K-8) participated in an 8-week online course to analyze the computer science standards and make connections to core subject areas which resulted in integrated lesson plans. Additionally, participants worked to develop a training model and provide professional development at their own schools.
