Currently we are a dynamic duo, spreading the love of CompSci to every student we possibly can. We implement equitable, cohesive Computer Science programs within Virginia. We have had the privilege of both ends of the educational spectrum. We've taught in a low-socioeconomic, high diversity, large SPED and ELL population schools and learned from all they had to offer.
Our teaching style depends on how the students learn. We believe in a personalized, intentional approach with cross curriculum integration focusing on using Project Based Learning, STEM projects and technology to enhance instruction. We enjoy dissecting curriculum and making big picture horizontal and vertical connections to help bring the content to students in authentic, practical ways. We are overjoyed at the new Computer Science curriculum because we believe this is an incredible vehicle to improve teaching and learning. It encourages hands-on, collaborative learning and will truly help students to be responsible, safe, successful and happy citizens of this world.
