Session description

We will explore how to build a community to support CS teachers. Every component of the resources is aligned to CSTA Standards for CS Teachers, which delineate the knowledge, skills and competencies required to implement effective and equitable K-12 CS instruction but written specifically for those with little background in CS.

Purpose & objective

- Share implementation strategies to scale use of resources that are aligned to the CSTA Standards for CS Teachers that support administrators, instructional specialists, and teacher leaders. These resources are designed to provide evidence-based feedback and promote the ongoing development of CS teachers at their schools.
