What teachers are saying about Code.org professional learning:
I liked seeing the lessons in action — it helped me understand how to pace them in my own classroom. I liked the opportunity to talk to my peers about assessment ideas and recruitment ideas.
AP® CSA Teacher • Nevada
This was excellent professional development that allowed us time to reflect, process and debrief both individually and as a group. The activities were engaging and meaningful to learning the content. I feel like I'm leaving with skill I can immediately apply in teaching the curriculum.
CS Discoveries Teacher • Alaska
By the end, I just felt so prepared, motivated, and ready to get back in the classroom again!
CS Principles Teacher • New Jersey
