CSinPA K-8 Pathway

Registration is now open for the a statewide, virtual cohort of the CSinPA K-8 Pathway professional learning program.

The Pathway is provided at no cost, and Act 48 credit is available.

The Pathway is 100% Virtual and will run January - June, 2022. All activities will be completed online; no travel is necessary.

The Pathway is open to any K-8 educator involved with CS instruction, including:

• Grade-level teachers
• Content-area teachers
• Special education teachers
• English language teachers
• Librarians
• Specialists
• Instructional coaches

Participants engage as learners, teachers, and CS champions (advocates) as they develop and implement a small-scale pilot project for CS education.

Participants will:

1. Access and use the K-12 CS Framework and CSTA standards

2. Initiate and reflect on a small-scale implementation pilot

3. Recognize and create a plan to close equity gaps in CS education, specifically for students with disabilities and other historically underrepresented populations, such as students of color and female students

4. Leverage community and stakeholder partnerships

5. Articulate the need for CS in education and our communities

This cohort of the CSinPA K-8 Pathway is a collaboration between the PaTTAN CS team and participating Intermediate Units (IUs). Participants will engage with educators and IU staff from across Pennsylvania.

The deadline is January 30, 2022, but early registration is strongly encouraged.
