2020 CS Matters Professional development schedule

CS Matters curriculum for AP (R) CS-Principles is freely available to teachers.

Our professional development provides a comprehensive overview to the content and pedagogy to effectively teach the course using a blended model.

Teachers meet in person or by webinar for the spring introduction and then follow up with 6 weeks of online work that is a blend of asynchronous work

and synchronous discussions and presentations.

The 5-day in-person workshop will follow up on that foundation and assumes a basic familiarity with Python programming used throughout the course.
