Hi @eduran - we created these resources so you can make copies and edit for your own needs.
Cheers,

I am teaching this course for the first time this year along with 4 other new courses. Would you mind sharing your canvas course? I have tought other Code.org courses, but not AP CSP. I just found out about a week ago that I was teaching this course and donāt have much time to prepare!
Hi all,
I am lesson planning for my school. I started using the 2019-2020 units/lessons, but then I realized that there was the 2020-2021 curriculum out. I noticed that there is a big difference. I only have to plan for the first unit by the beginning of school, but it seems like there are a few problems with the first unit, more specifically the second lesson. There are a lot of resources and terms missing, even though the lesson corresponds to the Unit 1 Lesson 2 of 2019-2020 (even though the unit titles are different?)
Basically, Iām saying that the first unit seems not completed. I guess I will try to compare with the 2019-2020 curriculum and try to make it work.
Hi @ryan.woyshner - the units are complete. The entire course is new, so while there may be some familiar lessons in Units 1&2, each lesson looks significantly different from previous versions. This was done in response to teacher feedback and to meet the new framework for AP CSP from the College Board.
Vocabulary can now be found on the slides. There is also a list of all vocabulary on the Curriculum Overview page.
Iām not sure what other resources you think are missing. We did remove some Activity Guides to encourage students to follow the slides and keep the class together.

Did anyone ever share with you their course in Canvas? I am in the exact same position as you. This is my first year teaching this course, now I have to teach it online and use Canvas. (which I havenāt used before) If you have the course in Canvas can you share it with me?
I did not get an answer here, but I got one from the AP CS Principles Educators group on Facebook. If you havenāt joined that group, you should because there is a lot of useful information there.
Go to canvas commons and search for:
COM SCI 1 2020 Woodworth
- she said it is complete through October.

I am in the process of developing my canvas course right now. Iām using a hybrid model with A-days and B-days where students are alternating in the classroom and away. I havenāt gotten the info in Canvas yet (a draft of that is my goal for this afternoon). Iāll put it in the Canvas Commons once Iāve got a skeleton made. Here is my Unit Plan (also a working document!) in case thatās helpful.
Two notes:
- On the calendar A light blue day is asynchronous, dark blue is synchronous. Youāll notice that Iāve swapped the order of a few lessons around - this is only because of what I want to teach in class vs. awayā¦ not because I think there is a ābetterā order.
- Iāve added an extra day for the project (mostly due to my weird schedule and trying to sync my classes) and thus have tweaked the project a bit. I piloted the new content last year so Iāve got an idea of how it will run with my students and thought we could go a little deeper, but thereās no reason not to use the project as described in the curriculum your first time through!

thank you soooooo much!!!
Oh my gosh you are amazing!!! I canāt thank you enough!
I just joined the group. Sorry but I have another question. You said go to canvas commons and search for COM SCI 1 2020 - is that canvas commons on Facebook. I feel so lost.
Oh I found it! Thanks for the information!
No, they are referring to the Commons on Canvas (the LMS Canvas from Instructure)
Here is my 2019-20 AP CSP course that I built in Canvas. It is shared in the Canvas Commons and can be found by searching, AP CSP - Shuptrine - Code.org
or using this link, https://lor.instructure.com/resources/f307cb5985d84d65957e6724b02de71f?shared
It is last years content but it might save some people some time in the first couple units. Good luck this year everyone!
