You may have heard of www.Code.org from the “Hour of Code” opportunity that students from around the globe participate in?  The same group is offering a program to help prepare educators for their first year of teaching Computer Science to High School students. This program is recommended for those students in grades 9-12 who have strong reading and writing skills.

As described on the website:

“Summer Workshop

• Participants kick off the Professional Learning Program with a 5-day workshop
• Explore the curriculum and learning tools, discuss classroom management and teaching strategies, and build a community of teachers.
• With a focus on a customized experience, participants will develop skills while working in small groups to deepen their understanding of the materials.

Ongoing Support, throughout following academic year:

• Participants attend local, 1-day quarterly workshops hosted by Code.org Regional Partners”

This is a fantastic opportunity for those entering their first year of teaching computer science and are looking for additional guidance and ongoing support!
