Coding in the resource block
In the elementary school schedule, students visit the classroom of another teacher who gives them an enrichment opportunity. Common resource classes include physical education, music, art, drama, library/media, health, technology, and now even STEM.
There were several different approaches used by those implementing the Hour of Code ™ on the resource wheel. At many of the schools, the entire resource team met and planned together. In these cases, students participated in Hour of Code ™ on multiple days in several contexts as they visited resource each day. These schools provided some of the most empowering opportunities for students to approach coding and creativity through multiple lenses and provided some of the most
varied experiences. Students typically visit one resource each day on a rotational basis. At some schools, there is a resource block on two or three of the days each week, and no resource on other days. This type of schedule allows the teachers, including the resource teachers, to have common planning time.
There were many ways that teachers worked together to bring coding to their students.
