Hello, I'm John Owen with we teach CS and I have a wonderful announcement that will make your day as you may know
We teach CS has been training teachers for almost six years now to take and pass the computer science certification test
And we've done a pretty decent job of it with now over 500 teachers that we know of that have taken and passed this very
difficult computer science certification test. We have also developed two curriculum packages
One for a typical first year computer science course and the other to help students prepare for and to take the computer science a
ap test. This new curriculum is fully endorsed by the college board and completely aligned with the course exam description that was released
in the summer of 2019. We've been offering these two curriculum packages for an annual subscription cost but are now pleased to announce
a scholarship program for no cost access to any teacher who wants to use it to teach computer science next year
Yes, you heard it right. No cost. Access. All you have to do is go to our website

have an authorized district official sign it, send it back to us completing your application and you'll hear from us very soon
This is a great deal. Both curriculum packages have lesson plans, online
auto graded Google form quizzes, downloadable PDF, documents, videos and e lessons
All of which students can access using their smartphones labs are also available on an online ID E fully auto grated and perfectly suited
for a chromebook lab classroom. No need to download anything to your local computers
It has everything you need and is especially designed for the beginning teacher
But it is also appropriate for the veteran teacher who's looking for a new way to teach computer science
A team of veteran teachers who develop these packages have a combined effective and successful teaching experience of almost 100
years providing for you effective and engaging curriculum packages for your students
Canvas is the platform we use to host the curriculum and you as the teacher would have access to this canvas course which you can
then deliver to your own students in whatever way you feel is appropriate
Students can also gain access to the student portion of it, the lessons
the videos, the E lessons and so on much like a student textbook would provide
However, there is a cost associated with that at $5 per student per year
