Come join ERLC learning lead and university instructor Trevor Iampen along with Janet Bell to learn about this new, curricularly timely U of A collaboration. Learn how, by taking 12 x 2-hr Computational Thinking modules through ERLC this year, you can not only jumpstart your participation in the U of A's Computational Thinking graduate summer course next Summer, but also arrive in that Summer course with most of the work already completed and consolidated through your ongoing interactions with your students over the course of this school year.

Don't miss this opportunity to get university credit for your "just in time" professional learning that intersects perfectly with the new Computer Science organizing ideas in the new Science curriculum.

Interested in learning how to use Scratch with students, but not interested in taking a course for university credit? This series is for you as well: Register for all of the sessions that interest you and join us for quality professional learning that you can integrate back into your work at school. Whether you are an instructional leader, a teacher, an EA, a librarian, an IT professional, or a parent, discover how you can provide that critical wraparound support for your teaching colleagues at school as they shift their practice to meet the expectations within the new Computer Science organizing idea within the Science curriculum.

See you there!
