<p><strong>Welcome to the teacher professional development for BJC: <em>The
Beauty and Joy of Computing</em>!</strong></p>
<blockquote>This page describes the six-week workshop model. In 2017 this model
applies only in New York City. For the three-week model,

<table><tr><td width="60%">
<p>BJC is designed to meet the
requirements of the College Board AP Computer Science Principles curriculum
framework. It was originally developed as a university breadth course at
the University of California, Berkeley, and has been extensively revised for
high school use at EDC (Education Development Center).</p>
<p>This is a six-week workshop. The first and last weeks are face-to-face;
during the middle four weeks, most of the work is done online, along with a
computer-mediated virtual meeting once per week. The materials needed for the
workshop are all online, and there are links to them on this page, which is
organized in three sections:</p>

1 Face-to-face Schedule</a><br />
<b>Note:</b> In 2017, because of when religious holidays fall, this first week
is actually divided into three days of spring break in April plus two days
in June. See the dates in the linked schedule.</li>
<li>(<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K61cI_IAvRNzmzzcJmMwdm-wKjQNVknLcNUnfjiwu3w/edit#gid=264757167">April 2016 week 1 schedule</a>)</li>
<li>Middle weeks schedule:
<p>In 2017, the middle weeks, during which participants take most of the
online course, are scheduled July 10 - Aug 4, leaving the week of July 4 free.
However, those participants who plan to attend the CSTA conference July 9-11
should start on the online material July 6-7.
<p>Each week includes two chapters from <em>Blown to Bits.</em> <strong>You
don't have to read the complete chapters!</strong> Give each chapter an hour,
or finish the first ten pages, whichever is longer. (Of course once you get
started, we think you won't want to stop early.)</p>
<p>Each week also includes a computer-mediated discussion section led by a
Berkeley teaching assistant, both to model discussion sections and to provide
time for answers to questions on the week's curriculum.</p>

<ul><li>Midterm exam (take-home) covering Units 1-3 will be distributed by

email to [email protected].</li>
<li>Explore task is basically a paper about a topic in social implications
of computers, but the College Board has specific rules that you should try
to follow, so you'll know what your students have to do. Turned in by
email to [email protected].</li>
<li>Create task, also known as the final project, is your entire lab
assignment for week 5. You should work on it in pairs, even though the
College Board wants some parts to be individual. You will bring the
Snap<i>!</i> project and the presentation to the final face-to-face week,
to demonstrate to your fellow participants.</li>

<h2 class="page-header">II. About AP CS Principles</h2>
<p>From <a
href="https://advancesinap.collegeboard.org/stem/computer-science-principles">the
College Board CSP site</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p style="font-size: 12px;">AP Computer Science Principles introduces students to the foundational
concepts of computer science and challenges them to explore how computing and
technology can impact the world. With a unique focus on creative problem
solving and real-world applications, AP Computer Science Principles prepares
students for college and career.</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 12px;">Computer Science: The New Literacy</h4>
<p style="font-size: 12px;">Whether it's 3-D animation, engineering, music, app development, medicine,
visual design, robotics, or political analysis, computer science is the engine
that powers the technology, productivity, and innovation that drive the world.
Computer science experience has become an imperative for today's students and
the workforce of tomorrow.</p>
<p style="font-size: 12px;">The AP Program designed AP Computer Science Principles with the goal of
creating leaders in computer science fields and attracting and engaging those
who are traditionally underrepresented with essential computing tools and
multidisciplinary opportunities.</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 12px;">Rigorously Developed</h4>
<p style="font-size: 12px;">In development since 2008, AP Computer Science Principles was created with
significant support from the National Science Foundation. The College Board
worked with more than 50 leading high school and higher education computer
science educators who piloted the course at their institutions. This rigorous
process of development and testing has yielded a course that not only reflects
the latest scholarship in the field, but provides students with a relevant and
engaging learning experience.</p>
<p style="font-size: 12px;">Over 90 colleges and universities have stated their support for the course,
with the majority anticipating they will award college credit for high exam
scores.</p></blockquote>

<p>(Excerpt: "All students should have equitable access to this new course.
Care should be taken to ensure that students taking the course are
demographically representative of the school's population before confirming
their enrollment. Therefore, we encourage you to create policies that promote
and enable diversity in the course and to not create barriers that would
discourage underrepresented groups from participating.")</p>
