CSTA National Conference - July 7th-10th
The CSTA National conference is right around the corner and is once again in Phoenix. We hope to see you there, especially Tuesday morning 10AM at our very own session for Arizona teachers: Arizona Computer Science - from Standards to Implementation.
 
If you are already attending the conference: Volunteers are still needed! Sign up to Volunteer Here!
Computer Science Endorsement
The Arizona State Board of Education recently revamped the requirements to earn an Endorsement in Computer Science. This should help clarify for teachers and administrators what it takes to be a content expert in Computer Science across all grade levels. Importantly: Computer Science Professional Development can count towards earning the Computer Science endorsement!
