Computer Science (CS) Certification Preparation Opportunity
In an effort to increase the number
of certified computer science teachers in Texas, the
University of Texas at Austin Center for STEM Education is offering a
free online version of the WeTeach_CS
Certification Preparation course. This course launches June 14, and
registration is available now.
WeTeach_CS Certification Prep is a comprehensive, six-week program
that prepares educators to take and pass the CS certification test. It reviews
all of the main concepts covered in the three certification domains: Software
Design and Development, Programming Language topics, and Technology
Applications. Teachers with at least some prior experience in coding or programming
interested in becoming certified to teach Grades 8-12 Computer Science are
eligible to attend.
After
the Computer Science certification test is passed and teachers have applied for
the certification, a $1,000 stipend will be awarded by the Texas Regional
Collaboratives (TRC) thanks to support from 100Kin10 and the TEA. For more
