What Makes UTeach CS Different
Project-Based, Student-Centered Curriculum
Project-based learning is an evidence-based instructional approach that increases student engagement, improves teacher satisfaction, and boosts academic achievement (PBL classrooms outperformed traditional classrooms by 8% or more). Our curricula features real-world projects that students find personally meaningful with the explicit intention of motivating all students to pursue computer science and cybersecurity.
Powerful Platform Tools
Our curriculum is provided through Codio, a cloud-based platform with evidence-based tools specifically designed for computer science education. Interactive tools optimize students' engagement, satisfaction, and performance while also providing teachers with insights into student learning that allow for more personalized feedback and intervention.
Unlimited, On-Demand Support
Our unparalleled support ensures teachers receive ongoing assistance with CS concepts and instructional strategies to improve learning outcomes. Partner teachers benefit from on-demand coaching via email, personalized mentoring, and practical guidance videos crafted by expert CS educators.
Empowering Professional Development
Our high-quality professional development is designed to help both new and experienced teachers boost their content knowledge, explore powerful platform tools, familiarize themselves with curricular resources, and sharpen their instructional strategies for maximum classroom impact.
