Equity & Inclusion: Are your Classroom Reading Materials Biased?
Lucia Jacobs
Teachers select reading materials for students to use on a weekly basis; These materials can be used for small group, whole group or independent student instruction.. When selecting reading materials for students, it is critical that educators are aware of the various types of ideas and images that are contained in reading materials. Educators must work to provide reading materials that are not biased. In this training, guidelines will be presented that can be used to evaluate reading materials for bias. Participants are asked to bring reading materials to have hands-on practice during the session.
Introduction to Computational Thinking

An overview of of the four parts of Computational Thinking (Decomposition, Algorithm, Abstraction, and Pattern Recognition).

Computational Thinking truly allows teachers to consider the lesson plan for the student and how the student will not just complete the assignment but think about what it takes to complete it. An effort to create a generation of Problem Solvers.
