UCA STEM Insitute - Essentials of Computer Programming for High School Teachers



Every high school in Arkansas is required to offer a computer science course beginning the 2015-2016 school year. There are specific licensure requirements for each of the four courses and a teacher of record for an ECP course must have the ADE Computer Science license or endorsement. The first testing window for the Praxis Exam for Computer Science (#528) is June 15-26, 2015. To assist teachers, UCA STEM Institute is offering some basic training in June.

Important Session Information:


This program is aimed to prepare high school teachers to teach "Essentials of Computer Programming." The program will cover both basic and some advanced concepts of computer programming. This is achieved by using freely available computer software "Alice." Alice uses a strong visual environment to create computer programs by dragging and dropping computer program elements in a mouse-based editor to learn programming concepts such as if/then statements, loops, variables, and functions. This allows participants with little or no computer programming knowledge to learn basic and advanced programming concepts with ease. Topics covered: (1) Motivations to write a computer program; (2) Introduction to Alice software, (3) Built-in functions, expressions, and simple control and looping statements; and (4) Introduction to object-oriented programming. PLEASE REGISTER BY MAY 20, 2015!
