alice-teacher Standards Help Needed

[Don Slater]

Hello all,
I have attached a .pdf document that contains two components.

1.   Curriculum Map (In table format, alphabetized by column 1)

The table maps columns 1 and 2 (typical Alice curriculum topics and example programming exercises) to columns 3, 4, 5, and 6 (well-known curricula & pedagogy).  The CSTA and Code.org curricula are listed in a single column because the Code.org curriculum encompasses, more or less, the CSTA curriculum.  Please note that topics listed column 1 are ALPHABETICALLY ordered, NOT necessarily in the order in which the topics would be presented in the classroom.

2.  Typical Alice 2 Course Outline

The outline is color-tagged – major topic is in blue, subtopics in green, and curriculum concepts in red. Please note that topics in this course outline are, more or less, in the order in which the topics might be presented in the classroom. We realize that some variation in topics is common and that some topics are covered to varying depths, depending on the objectives of the course and the grade level of the students.  

This is a working document, we hope that it is helpful, and we certainly are open to suggestions as you review it.

If someone needs an editable version of this document, please let us know.

Wishing you all the best,

I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

The true object of all human life is play. -- G.K. Chesterton
