Overview 

This series of workshops will work toward establishing a professional learning community to continue sharing resources, experiences, and strategies for aligning high school computer science courses with college-level standards and expectations. 

Each workshop has outcomes that aim to equip high school teachers with the knowledge, skills, and collaborative networks necessary to ensure that their computer science courses effectively prepare students for success in college-level studies and allow students to earn dual credit opportunities that align to degree pathways in the region. 

This workshop is part two of a three-part series. Participants will earn two clock hours per workshop for a total of six (6) STEM clock hours if they attend all three workshops in the series. Stipends may be available for workshop attendance and necessary follow-up work that is completed between sessions. 

Workshop #2: “Navigating the Bridge: Preparing Students for College-Level Computer Science: Strategies and Alignment”

Date: May 15, 2024: 4:00 to 6:00 pm
