Take Your Next Step

The following steps are intended to be taken following a district led team completing the CSforALL SCRIPT Process highlighted on the District Admin Page; however, they can also be helpful for teachers who may or may not have that level of district support.

Leverage Local CS Programs

Discover local CS programs or clubs that could be integrated into your school to encourage student participation in CS

Independently Teach CS

Seek out professional development opportunities with and/or without a path to additional licensure

Expand your CS Network

Participate in conferences and network with CS Educators to provide students with knowledge, support, and resources

Become an Advocate for CS!

Preparing students for a digital economy continually disrupted by technological advances requires that they are aware of the changing worlds of higher education and work. Support your students by:

• Being an ambassador for change in your school’s Academic and Career Planning process so that all students have access to opportunities that support the development of human, technological and data literacy skills.

• Introducing your peers to ways they can independently teach CS regardless of licensure.

• Integrating local computer science programming opportunities offered by the school into school communications and co-curricular programming.
