Integrated Computational Thinking (iCT) is a National Science Foundation funded project aiming to develop a competency-based professional learning program to support middle school teachers to become capable of designing, facilitating, and iterating computational thinking integrated learning experiences in their pedagogy. The iCT project is a partnership between Michigan State University, Mouse, and Telos Learning.
The project focuses CT integration in three disciplines: Social Studies, English Language Arts, and Arts. The iCT professional learning program provides continued and sustainable support for teachers. The iCT team envision this process as a collaborative effort between the iCT team, participating teachers, and participating school leaders and/or school districts. The iCT team offers:
Online platform for teachers to build foundational computational thinking knowledge
Micro-credential to recognize and signal teacher knowledge around CT integration
