Attending four local one-day, in-person workshops (normally on Saturdays)
Teaching the course during the 2018-19 school year
Supporting the recruitment and enrollment of a diverse group of students in the course, representative of the school’s overall student population

Applications open on January 16 and close on March 30, and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. For more information and to apply, visit the Professional Learning page for CS Discoveries or CS Principles.
