Level-Up Your CS Teaching
Whether you’re new to computer science, new to inquiry-based teaching, or experienced with both, we can help you elevate your content knowledge and develop inclusive instructional strategies!
Online and In-Person Professional Development
We offer training opportunities for new and returning teachers who will be teaching UTeach CS Principles and UTeach CS A courses. Our professional development workshops focus on mastering the course content, AP requirements, and project-based instructional strategies necessary for success. We strongly recommend that teachers attend our College Board–endorsed professional development before teaching a UTeach CS course for the first time. Our professional development may be substituted in place of attending an AP Institute training.

Micro-Credentials for K-12 Educators
UTeach CS provides free micro-credentials for K-12 educators interested in computer science. These job-embedded micro-credentials allow educators to highlight the competency-based skills they've developed on a variety of research-backed topics.
You can select a topic that’s new to you, level up on a skill, or demonstrate your expertise on a variety of skills, such as equitable recruitment, pair programming, rubber duck debugging, and more!
