Coding as Another Language Teacher Support Page

Welcome to the CS4RI / CAL Teacher Support Page, a one-stop shop for all your CAL implementation needs.

You may wish to read through our website document for further information before diving in.

CAL Teacher Resource Notebook

You may wish to bookmark the Teacher Resource Notebook designed by Deb Ramm. She has linked everything you will possibly need to support your CAL ScratchJr implementation. She starts with a video walkthrough of the notebook, which will help you understand the resources better.

The notebook includes links to the lesson slide decks and teacher designed projects for work beyond the CAL curriculum, as well as links to many of the pieces highlighted below.

Click on the picture above to view it. Bookmark it to use throughout your implementation. If you'd like your own copies of the resources, the links below should allow you to make a copy of everything you need.

CAL Lesson Slide Decks

You may find the Lesson Slide Decks created by Jenny Hines helpful for your lesson delivery.

There are slide decks linked below for every lesson for grades K, 1 and 2 as well as a slide deck to complete the Show What You Know assessments. The lesson decks have been combined for ease of use.

Click the dropdown arrow for links to the decks and other grade level resources. You should be able to make a copy of each resource if you wish.
