In January 2022, a team of dedicated educators came together under the leadership of Pat Morreale of the Kean CS Hub and Daryl Detrick of CS4NJ.
Mission: To develop supporting materials and examples for the effective adoption and implementation of the NJ DOE K-12 Computer Science standards. These materials will be shared and used to promote discussion with K-12 educators.
The materials were developed using the NJDOE NJSLS 2020 standards for 8.1 Computer Science and 8.2 Design Thinking as their foundation.
The working group:
Paige Besthoff, Elementary Computer Science teacher, Spotswood
Ellen Fishter, Elementary STEAM teacher and Tech Coach, Livingston
