Scaffolding Strategies

How can we make coding a common language across our school?

Use

Play some games, there are many out their in your language. Let students investigate and tinker with the code.

Modify

  • Parson's Problem - have all the blocks to build correct code but need to put in proper place
  • Debugging - something is wrong with the code, maybe a formula or incomplete question

Create

Give students a rubric and let them create on a clean slate, no code provided.

Document where coding is happening, and the practiced skills
