This is one of the four 1-day CS education workshops that we will be organizing for the 2018-19 cohorts of 31 middle school teachers and 22 high school teachers all across Nebraska. These workshops are designed to prepare CS teachers for teaching the CS Discoveries and AP CS Principles courses in their classes throughout the school year. Our facilitators are experienced CS teachers and are also the Code.org-certified facilitators who went through the Code.org facilitator training. Our workshops are hands-on, authentic, practical, and based on the proven instructional models.
