Abstract
A promising approach to make sure all students have opportunities to learn about computing is to integrate computer science (CS) into existing disciplines such as math and science. This project aims to integrate CS into Montana schools while also offering content that aligns with the Indian Education for All Act (IEFA). We are developing elementary and middle school units and teacher training materials that integrate CS, Indian Education, and other K-12 standards in Science, Language Arts, and Visual Arts. Our approach to curriculum design is through Research-Practice Partnership and a three-level strategy framework that supports students’ CS and disciplinary learning.
