Knowledge Topics
Teaching and Learning
Educational Innovation

In a world where driverless cars are no longer far-fetched science fiction, news feeds are formed by marketing algorithms, unlimited goods and services are bought and sold online and cyber-warfare is a looming national security threat, computer science competency is a vital skill for full participation in 21st century civic society. The purpose of the Coding as Literacy Framework from JCDS Boston is to provide a map as we develop and implement this innovative approach to coding as a language of expression in a Jewish context. These documents reflect an integration of national and state frameworks, grounded in their unique pluralist Jewish context.
