As you may have noticed over the past week, we have rolled out a new part of the site dedicated to professional development opportunities for CS teachers in the summer and fall of 2012. Here you can find out more about PD workshops in your area hosted by CSTA, CS4HS, and other organizations. For your convenience, all workshops are organized into a calendar as well as a sortable list.
If you are running a workshop that you would like us to add, please tell us about it! |
