North Salem Central School District (North Salem) has worked with researchers as part of a larger Research Practice Partnership (RPP) to design and implement an inclusive PK-12 computing pathway in their district. This poster describes how teachers used Generative AI (GenAI) tools three areas: (1) the development sample computational thinking (CT) lesson plans; (2) initial brainstorming; (3) professional learning.

As states move to adopt computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT) standards prepare students for an increasingly technological world, school districts are integrating curriculum with CT skills practices, building the capacity of their teachers administrators through professional development, increasing knowledge infrastructure support opportunities students. One challenge that face when scaling new initiatives occurs work becomes siloed one ''champion'' teacher or a singular...

Computational thinking (CT) provides opportunities for students to build the skills they need everyday life, future academic success, and careers. Increasingly, districts are integrating CT into K-12 disciplinary subjects a growing number of teachers knowledge lead learning opportunities. is still nascent in teacher education, however, not all receiving professional on job. Teachers effective methods support ensure providing with high quality We present schools. The poster highlights four...

To promote inclusion of students with marginalized identities, districts need to develop comprehensive inclusive computing pathways across grade levels. Working in a Research Practice Partnership (RPP), we have co-designed district-facing toolkit support the creation these pathways. In this poster, present both CT Pathways Toolkit and results from four piloting it. We examine experiences pilot analyze trends toolkit's use. This work expands knowledge about building computational thinking...
