Canada Learning Code Launches New K-12 Computer Science Education Framework

August 5, 2020 by Robert Lewis

Today, Canada Learning Code (CLC), Canada’s leading national organization championing digital literacy education, announced the launch of the highly anticipated K-12 Computer Science Education Framework.

The Framework sets out to align computer science education across the country by providing essential guidelines on what every student in Canada should know to navigate today’s rapidly changing technology-based world.

“After consulting with experts and thought leaders across the industry on the subject of computer science education, it was clear that its delivery throughout the country was not only inconsistent, but there were significant barriers around accessibility,” said Melissa Sariffodeen, CEO, Canada Learning Code.

“As an organization dedicated to empowering youth with the digital skills needed to thrive both currently and in the future, we knew definitive action was needed to make a positive change in the way computer science is taught today”.

Students, learners and educators throughout the country now have complete access to the comprehensive computer science Framework that addresses five fundamental learning outcomes including; coding and programming, computer and networks, data, technology and society and design.

Developed in partnership with an advisory group consisting of Canada’s top industry leaders including Microsoft, Amazon, Google and others, the K-12 Computer Science Education Framework is built on a foundation of knowledge and insights from the brightest minds in computer science.

By implementing the K-12 Computer Science Education Framework today, 2040’s graduating class is expected to be fully integrated in computer science.

Canada Learning Code is continuing to provide educators with the tools and resources needed to confidently embed computer science into their lesson plans and classrooms. From August 10th to 14th (English) and from September 21st to 24th (French), CLC is hosting its TeacherCon conference, a free multi-day conference for teachers to learn how to introduce computer science into the classroom at any grade level.
