    PSCSTA Computer Science Endorsement Prep Course
    This is a beautiful opportunity you may not have known about.  Tell colleagues who may be interested too AND have an awesome day. 
     
    Registration for the June 2024 Cohort of the CS Endorsement Exam Prep Course for Washington is open.
     
    The course is an online, self-paced, competency-based prep course designed to help you pass the WEST/NES Computer Science Endorsement Exam for Washington and prepare you for your first year teaching computer science.  40 Washington state clock hours are available to current teachers who successfully complete the course.  
     
    Because the course is online, self-paced, and competency-based, the more you know, the faster you can complete it.   Support is also available through virtual office hours and e-mail for those who are relatively new to teaching computer science.
     
    If you are a current public school teacher, you can receive $3000 through the Educator Retooling Conditional Scholarship for passing the endorsement exam.  You may qualify for this scholarship even if you are already teaching a computer science.
     
    The retail cost of this course is $650.   Scholarships for $550 are available to current public school teachers and juniors/seniors in a pre-service teacher prep program in Washington.
