Conferences, Workshops etc.


Talking about my work / CS Advocacy / CS Professional development - preparing more teachers to teach CS

During the last few years, I do more than teaching in my California classroom. I also share my teaching experience at conferences and panels and anywhere there is an interest in the topic of CS education. I share specific lessons that worked well, student work and as well as what I have learned while teaching coding to thousands of students over the last 8+ years. I conduct professional development workshops both for school districts on request and as part of Krause Center of Innovation, Foothill college's CS professional development programs.
