For teachers

The full teaching handbook — the foundation ladder, planning a year, a good lesson, statistical thinking, teaching code, low-resource classrooms, projects and ethics, assessment, AI, inclusion and your own learning path — is in book/teaching/ and in the teacher edition of the book (python tools/build_book.py).

Start here (30 minutes)

1. Read docs/pedagogy/lesson-anatomy.md (one page).
2. Open curriculum/grade-XX/README.md for your grade and pick a unit.
3. Open that unit's teacher-guide.md: timing, misconceptions, answer key.
4. Choose your track:
5. Track A (no-code) — works with paper, calculator, a spreadsheet or CODAP.
6. Track B (code) — SQL and Python; needs computers (offline OK).

If you have no computers

• Grades 8 and most of 9–10: use the printed extracts and worksheets. Every unit's teacher guide has an "if no computers" note.
• Code units: plan a lab day, or use the offline USB bundle on one shared computer with a projector.

If you have no internet

Build the school bundle on any computer with internet, then copy it by USB:

python tools/build_offline_bundle.py

Classroom routines

• Roles in groups of three: data steward (keeps the table clean), analyst/driver, storyteller. Rotate.
• Starter quiz: three questions, one recalling the last lesson.
• Oral check: two minutes per group; essential in the AI era.
• Data rules: use student codes, never names; ask consent; see Grade 8 Unit 8 and community/student-data-consent.md.

Using AI assistants

See docs/pedagogy/ai-use-policy.md: explain, don't answer; disclose; verify; protect people.

Give feedback

Open a teacher-feedback issue or add a note in pilots/. Tell us: grade, unit, time taken, what confused students, what worked, and what you changed.
