Reflective writing figures prominently in both ECS and CSP and can be an important component project-based pedgagogy. How to teach and assess reflective writing is particularly important to CSP teachers because students will need to write reflections as part of their performance tasks for the proposed AP assessment. However, few computer science teachers have experience teaching evaluating reflection writing, or, in fact, writing and presenting more generally. This event will give teachers and CS10K project staff an opportunity to learn from three international experts on reflection and writing.
Guest Experts
Helen Chen, Research Scientist, Stanford University
Lesley Smith, Associate Professor of Integrative Studies, George Mason University
