Train the Trainer Pilot for Alaska Districts
For our first pilots we selected and have been working 2 districts in 22-23. Matsu aand Fairbanks stepped up to get thier staff member trained to provide Code.org computer science K-5 professional development when it right for them. Timing is everything. We are looking to offer this opportunity to 3 more distcits in 23-24.
Code.org provides training for your staff member to support other teachers during inservices, after school training and jsut genreal support. ASDN provides one of our experiance facilitators to help get your staff person get started and pairs up with them for their first traings.
Target Goals
Each District Trainer in the pilot program will integrate CS into their district’s PL program
At least 25% of the District’s elementary schools will be represented in the workshops during the program.
At least two teachers per school will attend the workshops ,more would be great but many Alaska schools ar small.
Two-thirds of teachers who attend CSF District Workshops will implement a CS Fundamentals course (or alternately CS Connections curriculum) during the 2022-23 school year.
