AP CS Principles Workshop (No Experience Required)

Professional Development

UTeach Computer Science provides College Board–endorsed professional development to prepare new and returning computer science teachers for success in their classrooms. Teachers explore the engaging, project-based UTeach AP CS Principles curriculum with collaborative, open-ended projects in Scratch and Python that illustrate the impact of computing in our lives.

Teachers complete self-paced modules, with on-demand support, and attend periodic check-ins with their PD facilitator over a 3-month timeframe. Teachers can register on a rolling basis and have 3 months to complete their PD. Teachers who fully complete this professional development workshop will earn 35 hours of CPE credit (continuing professional education).

During these in-depth professional development workshops, teachers will:
• Explore curricular resources (lesson plans, projects, and labs)
• Strengthen content knowledge in computer science
• Master AP course requirements and College Board expectations
• Cultivate high‑impact instructional strategies and AI tools
• Customize Codio platform tools, autograding features, and LMS integrations

Prerequisites: Teachers with any content background or level of experience are welcome to attend our AP CS Principles Professional Development Workshop. No knowledge or experience with computer science or programming is required.

"In my 23 years of teaching, I have participated in many workshops and training programs and this one tops the list, both in terms of high-quality content and outstanding facilitators." —Tatyana P.
