Hello fellow STEM lovers!
The Northeastern Educational Intermediate Unit is proud to be partnering with IUs across the state of
Pennsylvania to help K-8 educators embrace computer science! If you are a
K-8 leader or educator in ANY subject or , with an interest in computer
science, then consider yourself invited to join! The CS in PA K-8
Pathway is a fully virtual course, designed to help any K-8 educator
better understand the WHY and HOW of computer science. No prior
knowledge of computer science is required- just a passion to learn more
and try new things with students! During this course, educators will
work through 8 modules, designed to provide some beginner CS
experiences, deepen buy-in of computer science integration, and even
brings in UDL as a way to bring CS to ALL in classrooms. Each module is
done virtually, and mainly asynchronously. There are four 1-hour LIVE
Zoom check ins sprinkled throughout to support collaboration and
learning, and opportunities for additional support from an IU mentor
will be provided along the way as well. Did we mention this course is
FREE, and comes with 48 act 48 hours for anyone who completes all of the
modules? Module 1 opens January 3rd, and module 8 closes in
mid-June, so the work is spread out and very manageable. We hope you
will consider joining our Statewide Cohort to get connected with K-8
educators across Pennsylvania and gain new learning and resources to get
you started on CS integration that works for YOUR classroom! Please
