    Hello all,

    Just a reminder of this posting that Jason Bohrer sent out to share with CSTA Chapter Members; if you can please make one more annoucement about this, we appreciate it!

    -------------------

    Two organizations, The National Center for Computer Science Education (NCCSE) and Code Savvy will be working in a joint effort to conduct these research and professional development sessions for educators across the country. Both organizations are pooling their expertise and networks into developing CS coach professional development and two coaching programs -- one for Minnesota High School teachers and schools, and one for AP CS teachers from across the country.

    Both programs will use an instructional coaching model that includes summer professional development for coaches who will then mentor teachers over the academic year, using multiple coaching cycles to support and improve CS teaching. The coaching model is designed around the CSTA Standards for CS Teachers and focuses specifically on equitable teaching practices. These practices are woven throughout and will be central to the coaching process as coaches and teachers work to identify and meet the needs of historically marginalized students in CS courses.

    • Be a coach and provide coaching. Coaches earn a stipend up to $5700 for participating in research components, Summer PD, academic year components. Learn more and apply.
    • Be a coachee and receive 1:1 coaching from an experienced CS teacher. Coachees can earn a stipend up to $750 for participating in research components and completing coaching cycles with their coach.  Learn more and apply.
    • Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, but please consider applying by March 15, 2023.
