Model Curriculum for K–12 Computer Science “Computer science (CS) is the study of computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, their hardware and software designs, their applications, and their impact on society. This definition requires that K–12 computer science curricula have the following kinds of elements: programming hardware design networks databases and information retrieval software design programming paradigms graphics programming languages logic translation between levels of abstraction computer security the limits of computation (what computers can’t do) artificial intelligence applications in information technology and information systems social issues (Internet security, privacy, intellectual property, etc.) 11/27/2018

Model Curriculum for K–12 Computer Science “The goals of a K–12 computer science curriculum are to: introduce the fundamental concepts of computer science to all students, beginning at the elementary school level. present computer science at the secondary school level in a way that would be both accessible and worthy of a curriculum credit (e.g., math or science). offer additional secondary-level computer science courses that will allow interested students to study it in depth and prepare them for entry into the work force or college. increase the knowledge of computer science for all students, especially those who are members of underrepresented groups.” 11/27/2018

Level II – Computer Science in the Modern World (Grades 9-10) Level 2 Objectives and Outlines (http://csta.acm.org/Curriculum/sub/Level_2_Objectives_Outline.pdf) Topic 1: Principles of Computer Organization Topic 2: Problem Solving Topic 3: Basic Components of Computer Networks Topic 4: Internet Concepts Topic 5: Hierarchy and Abstraction in Computing Topic 6: Connections Between Mathematics and Computer Science Topic 7: Models of Intelligent Behavior Topic 8: Interdisciplinary Utility of Computers and Problem Solving in the Modern World Topic 9: Ethical Issues Topic 10: Careers in Computing Topic 11: Programming Languages Topic 12: Web page Design and Development Topic 13: Multimedia Topic 14: Applications http://www1.acm.org/education/k12/k12final1022.pdf 11/27/2018

Level II – Computer Science in the Modern World Level 2 Objectives and Outlines (http://csta.acm.org/Curriculum/sub/Level_2_Objectives_Outline.pdf) Topic 1: Principles of Computer Organization Topic 3: Basic Components of Computer Networks Topic 4: Internet Concepts Topic 12: Web page Design and Development http://www1.acm.org/education/k12/k12final1022.pdf 11/27/2018

Level II – Computer Science in the Modern World Topics and Goals of the Level II Course provide students with general knowledge about computer hardware, software, languages, networks, and their impact in the modern overarching aim here is to prepare students to master computer science concepts from the user’s point of view rather than from the designer’s. For instance, the idea that a robot needs a method of acquiring sensory data from its environment draws attention to the general notion of an “input device” beyond the standard keyboard and mouse. Teaching students about various input devices currently in use should help demystify the general idea of input, and prepare students to be comfortable using devices with which they are not yet familiar. 11/27/2018

Level II – Computer Science in the Modern World Students should gain a conceptual understanding of the following topics in computer science: 1. Principles of computer organization and the major components (input, output, memory, storage, processing, software, operating system, etc.) 3. The basic components of computer networks (servers, file protection, routing protocols for connection / communication, spoolers and queues, shared resources, and fault-tolerance). 4. Organization of Internet elements, Web page design (forms, text, graphics, client- and server-side scripts), and hypermedia (links, navigation, search engines and strategies, interpretation, and evaluation). 11/27/2018
