Teaching Method
Traditional
Teacher-centered curriculum commonly used in classrooms that may include a text, teacher manual, tests, etc.
Charlotte Mason
A methodology based on the work of a 19th century educator who maintained that children learn best from literature (Living Books), not textbooks.
Classical
A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.
Other
Other methodologies
Religious Content
Secular
Contains content contrary to common Christian beliefs (i.e. evolution).
Neutral
Avoids religious or theoretical topics or presents multiple viewpoints without preference.
Christian/Religious
Faith-based or including instructional religious content.
Learning Modality
Auditory
Learns through listening, talking out loud or reading out loud.
Visual
Learns through seeing, prefers written instructions and visual materials.
Kinesthetic/Tactile (Hands-On)
Learns through moving, doing and touching.
Multi-Sensory
Curriculum that employ a variety of activities/components.
Presentation
Sequential
Curriculum progresses through well-defined learning objectives. Emphasizes mastery before moving to the next topic.
Spiral
Topics and concepts are repeated from level to level, adding more depth at each pass and connecting with review.
Conceptual/Topical
Focus is on the “why,” often with a unifying concept as well as specific skills; coverage may be broader.
Teacher Involvement
Low Teacher Involvement
Student-led materials; parent acts as a facilitator.
Medium Teacher Involvement
A mix of teacher-led time and independent student work.
High Teacher Involvement
Teacher-led lessons; may utilize discussions, hands-on activities and working together.

Description
Give your first grader a strong computer science foundation with Smart Start: Beginning Coding Stories and Activities. Children will learn important coding concepts with engaging stories and practice activities. Based on the K–12 Computer Science Framework, this dynamic early learning series helps children understand coding concepts to develop a strong foundation in computer science, including computational thinking, problem solving, and critical thinking.
Each full-color activity book is organized into eight themed units around one coding concept and includes:
- Coding stories that demonstrate what coders do and include an audio read-aloud feature
- Concept pages that connect coding concepts to real-world situations
- Practice activities that reinforce important coding rules
- Review pages for every coding concept practiced
- Coding projects with print-based games and puzzles
- Mini coding handbook with key terms
Computer science concepts and skills help early learners become critical thinkers by practicing the building blocks of thinking such as:
- Algorithms that design simple steps to solve problems
- Decomposition that shows how to break down complex problems into smaller ones
- Sequencing that demonstrates how the order of things is important
- Pattern recognition that makes connections between similar problems
Programming language concepts such as:
- Debugging that shows how to look for mistakes and correct them
- Loops that can be used to save time by instructing a computer to repeat an action
Children will also practice a variety of readiness skills such as print awareness, visual discrimination, following directions, and fine-motor skills.
