In North Salem Central School District, every student is encouraged to engage with computational thinking (CT) and computer science (CS). Aligning their efforts with the New York State Computer Science and Digital Fluency Standards and the Profile of a North Salem Graduate, the district has developed a Computational Thinking Pathway, which provides CT and CS learning opportunities for all students.
CT pathways are system-wide K-12 programs supporting equitable participation in computational thinking. They are consistent across classrooms, cumulative from year to year and competency-based (i.e., focused on elements such as “data practices” and “understanding and using algorithms”).
