SFUSD's creative computing curriculum introduces computer science as a creative, collaborative, and engaging discipline to children in kindergarten through second grade.

Across 4 units and 15-20 lessons, students will learn about algorithms and programming, computing systems, the Internet, and impacts of computing, while developing strong practices and dispositions. Lessons are designed to be implemented in 45 to 60-minute periods approximately once per week.

There are three levels available and a flow chart to help you decide where your students should start!

Just because students are young doesn't mean they can't code! Get them started today.

This self-reflection tool is designed to ensure that teaching practices are aligned with Structure Literacy. The user is encouraged to note (by checking off the boxes) all areas they are currently putting into practice. The completed reflection can then be used with the principal or the leadership team to set targets for professional learning, professional growth, and/or a plan for Structured Literacy implementation.  The goal is to ensure all areas identified are implemented within the classroom. Adopted from The Reading League’s Curriculum Evaluation Tool https://www.thereadingleague.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Curriculum-Evaluation-Tool-August-2020.pdf

The following optional meeting templates have been developed to support Triads in their meeting structure.  The first template follows the Collaborative Learning Cycle, and provides teams with the opportunity to explore and solve a concern or issue.  The second template is provided for teams to use as they follow up the plan they have created using the first template. A set of guiding questions has also been provided to support your work, and guide your thinking throughout your meetings. These templates and questions were created by the Mini SALT Team. Please feel free to reach out to any of the members for support if needed.
