Across the globe, there is an increasing push to incorporate coding into the entire K-12 curriculum -- a shift which entails enormous challenges. This paper presents preliminary findings of an approach we are developing which addresses a key challenge associated with teaching coding, namely how to enable teachers with minimal coding backgrounds to effectively teach coding. The model we are developing provides online real-time tech support to teachers, thereby lowering the technical barriers to coding instruction. The genesis of this approach emerged from a year-long after school coding club run by the authors for elementary school students. This was followed by a pilot study involving gifted students in multiple elementary schools. |
