The Strategic CSforALL Resource and Implementation Planning Tool (“SCRIPT”) is a framework used to guide the creation of customized implementation plans to meet the goals and needs of school districts that are seeking to create computer science education (“CSed”) plans, guided by CSforALL values of rigor, inclusion, and sustainability. The SCRIPT engages school districts in goal-setting across five thematic areas: (1) Materials and Curriculum, (2) Leadership, (3) Teacher Capacity and Development, (4) Partners, and (5) Community. A sixth thematic area, Technology Infrastructure, is in development.
Statewide SCRIPT training took place August 2022. If you are still interested in receiving SCRIPT training with a team from your school district, it is not too late! Reach out to Rebecca Turner at turner25@tcnj.edu for more details.
