Coding for Educators Workshop at Jefferson City Public Library, April 2, 2016

The Jefferson City Public Library is offering the Coding for Educators workshop on Saturday, April 2, 2016 from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm. This workshop is for K-5 educators, content-area teachers, learning coaches, librarians and homeschool educators interested in learning ways to encourage students and children in the computer sciences. The workshop will cover content for three courses and teachers will receive the supplies they need to teach the courses at no cost. This workshop will be led by experienced Code.org K-5 Affiliates.

These courses are flexible so educators can tailor them to their class based on their students’ developmental levels and prior experience. The lessons align to CSTA Compute Science and ISTE standards, and reinforce concepts and skills taught in other subject areas by integrating national Math, English Language Arts, and Science standards.

Please bring your own device, and other material will be provided. Not only is this an opportunity to increase your knowledge and confidence in facilitating an engaged computer science classroom, it’s also a chance to connect with other educators in your area.
