Course Description
This course is designed to help teachers with no prior coding experience teach coding effectively to their students. The course is interactive and hands-on, providing teachers with the necessary tools to become more effective in their teaching approach.
Throughout the course, teachers will work in teams, allowing them to experience the power of teamwork firsthand and learn how to incorporate it into their own classroom settings. By the end of the course, teachers will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to introduce the world of coding to their students in an engaging and effective manner.
Through fun and step-by-step projects, teachers will learn how to teach their students to solve real-world problems using code. The course will provide teachers with various teaching methodologies, encouraging active participation and hands-on experience for their students.
Each coding fundamental will be taught using a real-life analogy to explain the “why,” flowchart programming to create algorithms, block programming to implement the algorithm with code in an easy way, and an activity directly related to the concept learned.
Upon completion of this course, teachers will have the knowledge and confidence to implement different teaching methodologies for their students to be more engaged in coding and problem-solving through code.

Methodologies Of The Course
The course will use a combination of different teaching methodologies to ensure that the teachers get the most out of the course and are equipped to teach coding effectively to their students. These methodologies include:
Active Learning: The course will use active learning techniques to ensure that the teachers are fully engaged and involved in the learning process. This will include group activities, discussions, and problem-solving exercises.
Project-Based Learning: The course will use a project-based learning approach, where teachers will work on coding projects from start to finish. This will enable teachers to get a hands-on experience and learn by doing.
Collaborative Learning: The course will encourage collaborative learning, where teachers will work in teams to complete coding projects. This will enable teachers to see the power of teamwork and take this approach back to their own classrooms.
Simplified Approach: The course will use a simplified and friendly approach to coding, which will make it easier for teachers to learn and teach coding to their students.
Real-World Problem-Solving: The course will teach teachers how to teach their students to solve real-world problems through code. This will make the learning process more engaging and encourage active participation.
Pedagogical Approach
The pedagogical approach of the course “Teach Coding to Students” is student-centered, collaborative, and experiential.
The course focuses on empowering teachers to facilitate student learning by providing hands-on, interactive activities that engage students in the learning process. The course encourages teachers to move away from a traditional lecture-based teaching style and instead adopt a more student-centered approach that emphasizes collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving.
The course also emphasizes the importance of experiential learning, where students learn by doing, making mistakes, and exploring on their own. This approach encourages students to develop their own coding skills and find their own solutions to problems.
Throughout the course, teachers will be encouraged to work collaboratively with their peers, sharing ideas, and learning from one another. The course will include group discussions, team-building activities, and opportunities for peer-to-peer learning.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the “Teach Coding to Students” course, participants will have achieved the following learning outcomes:
1. Understanding of Coding Fundamentals: Participants will have a deep understanding of coding concepts such as variables, data types, and loops, and be able to explain these concepts in a simplified and relatable way to their students.
2. Knowledge of different teaching methodologies: Participants will be equipped with a variety of teaching methodologies that they can use to teach coding to their students, including block-based coding, text-based coding, and project-based learning.
3. Ability to develop fun, engaging, and hands-on coding activities: Participants will be able to create fun and engaging coding activities that are hands-on and encourage active participation by students.
4. Proficiency in using coding tools and resources: Participants will be proficient in using a range of coding tools and resources, such as block-based programming languages and coding platforms, to teach coding to their students.
5. Understanding of real-world applications of coding: Participants will understand how coding is used in real-world contexts and be able to relate these applications to their students, helping them to see the relevance and importance of coding.
6. Confidence in teaching coding: Participants will feel confident and empowered to teach coding to their students using the skills, knowledge, and tools gained from the course.
