Code.org Regional Partner

(Code.org logo

CEISMC is the Code.org Regional Partner for the State of Georgia. The goals of our partnership are to:

  • Establish partnerships with local districts and schools to prepare K-12 teachers to lead effective computer science classrooms.
  • Organize and host quality, local workshops for districts and schools implementing Code.org’s K-12 programs, with Code.org-accredited facilitators.
  • Support, grow, and sustain the local community of K-12 computer science educators.
  • Remove barriers to achieving equity in K-12 CS Education.
The curriculum, online student learning platform, and access to support from the teacher and Code.org community are all provided free of charge.
 

Code.org Professional Development Overview

 

CEISMC, in partnership with Code.org, offers in-person professional development workshops for educators across the state of Georgia during the summer! These week-long sessions are designed to empower teachers with the skills and knowledge needed to teach computer science effectively using the K-12 CS curriculum. 

 

Participants will receive hands-on training in one of the following computer science disciplines: 

  • Computer Science Discoveries (CSD): For middle school teachers
  • AP Computer Science Principles (CSP): For high school teachers
  • Computer Science Fundamentals (CSF): For elementary school teachers
  • Computer Science A (CSA): For advanced high school computer science courses 

The cost of the professional development varies, but includes all materials and resources needed for the training. Additionally, Georgia-based middle and high school teachers from high-needs schools (those with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch) and schools with diverse student populations underrepresented in STEM/CS may be eligible for scholarships to cover the training cost. 

 

These workshops provide an invaluable opportunity for teachers to bring computer science education to their classrooms, equipping the next generation of students with critical 21st-century skills.
