The framework consists of practices and concepts that serve as a platform for schools to create their own computer science standards. Over the past five years we have developed our own standards, some of which happen to apply to certain practices and concepts in the K-12 framework. For example, learners interested in collaborating and communicating around computing (practices #2 and #7 from the framework) can join Codecademy’s free forum, where they can discuss lessons from Codecademy’s courses.
