The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
Though the broad sweep embodied in the Seven Big Ideas and the Six Computational Thinking Practices may focus attention on important aspects of the field, much work remains to translate the vision to a form in which it can be taught. An intermediate step was to develop Learnng Objectives and Evidence that derive from the grand vision. From them specific classroom materials and activities are to be developed and packaged into a curriculum by instructors on five campuses. The schools and instructors exhibit considerable diversity.
