Full Day Session

Welcome!

This page contains a curriculum suggested for Computer Science TA training that can be scheduled for a full day (8 hours).

How to use

Below you will see the full schedule of lesson plans for all sessions. Each session page contains the content you are most likely to share with students; you may wish edit or expand this content for a more comprehensive student-facing site. The corresponding Lesson Plan pages (link from both the schedule and the session pages) contain the full content along with additional material, such as related readings (use page-level permissions to prevent public viewing).

Under Resources, we provide an overview of our curriculum's approach as well as pages with information about how to facilitate discussions (with suggested discussion formats). You will also find readings, slides and videos, and sample forms for reflection and feedback.
