SFUSD's creative computing curriculum introduces computer science as a creative, collaborative, and engaging discipline to children in third through fifth grade.
Across 15-20 lessons at each grade level, 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.

This microcredential focuses on educators' consistent and effective use of Three Dimensional Assessments to inform instruction. Three Dimensional Assessments help demonstrate student understanding and proficiency to explain phenomena and solve design challenges. Assessments require students to apply the science and engineering practices (their skills) to reveal their understanding of disciplinary core ideas (the content) and crosscutting concepts. (the big ideas that connect all sciences.) Formative and summative assessments are both necessary to assess student understanding and performance.

Please note that this is an assessment tool and not a unit lesson plan. Performance expectation 5-LS2-1 is in two parts. As we were developing our formative assessment and summative task, we thought about teaching the learning performance sequentially and decided these spots would be a good place to check in for student understanding. Our thinking of a model is a representation and explanation of a phenomenon. You may want to choose the format your students create (flow chart, drawing, plus/delta, etc.) There are several templates in the formative and summative assessments that may help you and your class.

Teachers have taken many steps to address the social and emotional needs of their students. SEL skills, however, are often taught in a way that’s isolated from content-area instruction. Students may begin their day, for example, with a morning meeting or advisory class, or they may participate in a mindful moment.
How can schools integrate social and emotional practices into academic instruction where they can have the greatest impact on learning? Here are three simple strategies for making SEL a part of the curriculum.

Today, we expect every student to be ready for the challenges of the 21st century – to learn more, to master new technologies, and to apply what they have learned in authentic/real-world contexts. The phrases “deeper learning” and “critical and creative thinking” have generated varied descriptions of the skills, knowledge, and dispositions students must possess to be able to sit at the table of opportunity and succeed in life after high school. Deeper learning happens when students become actively immersed in challenging tasks that require them to critically examine information, transfer what they have learned, and expand upon that learning to creatively experiment and construct new knowledge and insights. This does not happen in classrooms where the primary focus is getting students to comply with the work we’ve assigned and get correct answers to problems with known answers.
