CS Fundamentals
Start Your Journey on the Right Foot
Computer Science A empowers teachers to bring real-world programming and algorithmic thinking into their classrooms. With comprehensive training, hands-on facilitation, and ongoing support, this program prepares you to guide students through the foundations of Java, data structures, and responsible computing.
Interested in professional development for you and your district?
The Computer Science Fundamentals introduction and deep dive workshops include facilitation, curriculum guide, and ongoing support. Participants will see lessons modeled and have time to explore additional lessons for their grade. The curriculum courses allow for flexible implementation, and facilitators will help participants consider how they will implement the content.
K–5 students will experience lessons both at and away from computers. They will create computer programs that will help them learn to collaborate with others, develop problem-solving skills, and persist through difficult tasks. They will study programming concepts, computational thinking, digital citizenship, and develop interactive games or stories they can share.
Funding through Computer Science Professional Development Grants can be used for this program.
1 hour of teacher relicensure or grad credit available through the AEA.
Fundamentals Intro workshops introduce the K–5 curriculum and implementation options.
Fundamentals Deep Dive workshops are available as a next step to go deeper into curriculum planning. Both workshops can be used by K–5 classroom teachers or out-of-school educators.
