Educator Curriculum

About Our Curriculum

We understand that integrating products and technology into the classroom can be difficult, that’s why our unique collection of curriculum allows for easy integration for educators. Our in-house lessons and resources inspire innovation and bring coding and programming to life for all learners! 

Our curriculum is easy to navigate and is divided into two main streams: “Learn to Code” and “Code to Learn”. Both streams are designed and aligned to ISTE and CSTA international coding standards as well as Canadian provincial curriculum standards. In addition, all of our lessons are aligned to coding standards in Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Alberta. Check out each stream below for more information. 

Learn to Code

Help students learn about and practice fundamental coding concepts with lesson plans, challenges, and assessment projects. Each lesson is carefully designed to not only teach students how to code but also advanced problem-solving skills and how to break down large problems into smaller ones. Follow the “Preview Learn to Code Lesson” link for each product to preview a free lesson from our Learn to Code lesson library. 

Code to Learn

Cross-curricular and project-based lesson plans help students apply coding concepts by integrating into various subject areas such as Math, Science, Language, Social Studies and Arts. This allows students to design, discover, and display their curriculum knowledge using coding proficiencies gained from each lesson. It also helps ground abstract coding concepts in fun and engaging activities.

Coding with CS First

CS First is Google’s free computer science curriculum that makes coding easy to teach and fun to learn. CS First allows students to learn through video-based lessons, with different themes like storytelling, sports, art, and game design. Our resources here will help you get started right away with your students. Each resource package includes setup instructions for you, along with pre-recorded lessons that you can watch with your students, allowing you to all code across the curriculum together!

 

Python Coding

Python – the popular programming language – is a simple, easy-to-learn, syntax-based language that emphasizes on readability and reduces the time used to maintain the program. Our lessons will help you introduce the basics of syntax-based coding using the language Python to students in Grades 9-12. The lessons include hands-on and independent activities, student worksheets, and relevant provincial Math and Computer Science curriculum connections. Also included is a teacher video to get you started in the first lesson. Click on the “Python: Beginner” and “Python: Advanced” buttons below to gain access to these resources.

 

 

Minecraft Education

Minecraft Education curriculum enables Grade 1 to Grade 12 educators to help students build critical 21st century skills like collaboration, creative problem solving and digital citizenship.
