In small groups, learners can create their own short skits pretending to be coders. The first skit will be about coders who do not have growth mindsets and the next skit will be about coders who have a growth mindset. Provide an opportunity for learners to share their skits with their class.
With your class, create your own skit rubric or use a pre-developed rubric such as the Skit Rubric by Scribd.
Use the ‘Mindset Works: Effective Effort Rubric’ to assess learners’ growth mindset during future coding projects.
Coding: Provide learners with the opportunity to demonstrate a growth mindset when working on their own coding projects.

Although learning how to build digital projects is a key part of Computer Science education, students should also learn a wider set of skills and competencies that will help them to harness the power of digital technologies as both creators and consumers. A comprehensive approach to K-12 Computer Science education includes learning about the following five focus areas:
View Framework ➝By the end of high school, students should be able to create a simple computer program.
By the end of high school, students should understand and be able to use the tools and devices commonly used to build digital projects.
By the end of high school, students should be able to explain how we use computers to create, store, organize, and analyze data.
By the end of high school, students should be able to explore the ways in which technology and society have mutually shaped each other.
By the end of high school, students should be able to apply design principles to the digital projects they create.
