ALL Students Should Learn CS. 
ALL Teachers Can Teach CS.

The Seasons of CS Orientation Workshops are designed to provide an introduction to the California K-12 Computer Science Standards, and they are offered every month in the Autumn, Winter, and Spring seasons. These workshops were three-hour experiences, which included a combination of "live" activities hosted in-person or virtually and "on-demand" activities. Participants were compensated with a stipend for actively participating in the Orientation Workshop. 

Note: At our virtual computer science professional learning workshops, we prioritize fostering an interactive and collaborative environment. These workshops are designed not only to impart standards-based knowledge and skills but also to provide California K-12 educators with the invaluable opportunity to connect with their peers who share a passion for computer science and educational technology. Considering this emphasis on connecting with others, we have chosen not to permit AI notetaking bots, like Otter AI, during our sessions. Our decision aligns with the expectations set by the California Department of Education, which requires active, live participation from educators to qualify for stipends related to these synchronous workshops. We understand that everyone's learning preferences differ. If you're someone who leans towards asynchronous learning, we encourage you to check out the other Seasons of CS learning opportunities.

If you are continuing your professional learning journey that began in the summer of 2023, consider attending an ongoing academic year workshop and an ongoing community of practice meeting.  2023 Summer of CS workshop participants are guaranteed additional academic year workshops of just-in-time support where they will meet virtually after school with their workshop provider to reinforce, reflect, and extend their learning.
