Computer Science
Beginning with the entering ninth grade class of 2022-2023, a public high school student shall be required to earn one (1) unit of credit in an ADE-approved high school computer science course before the student graduates. The one (1) unit required may be earned in grades eight through twelve (8-12). There are nine courses that may be provided to students in Grades 8-12 without any additional approval from the ADE. Additional information about these courses can be found in Commissioner's Memo COM-21-099

Some of you may have already seen this but here is a good Python programming bundle found on the Humble Bundle website. For $1 you can get 4 digital books for teaching Python and 15 digital books for $18. The books cover various topics using Python (e.g., games, mathematics, automation, creating/cracking ciphers, and natural language processing). I have purchased several bundles (e.g., programming, science, game assets) in the past and currently have several of these books.
