This session highlights how the Los Altos School District (LASD) designed and implemented an innovative integrated computer science model that develops computational thinking skills and learner mindsets from Transitional Kindergarten through eighth grade. Participants will explore LASD’s progression of learning experiences that foster problem-solving, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking through age-appropriate computational thinking practices. The session will feature instructional models, curriculum integration strategies, and examples of student-centered learning that support deeper learning outcomes while increasing equitable access to computer science education for all students.
