CSPDWeek 2026 Pre-Work

Pre-work is an important part of CSPDWeek. The experience Is funded upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 2607763 and by the U.S. Department of Education through the Education Innovation and Research (EIR) program, Award No. S411C200115. Additional support Is provided by Nextech. As part of the research attached to the grant, pre-, post-, and surveys throughout the experience are important. We appreciate your commitment to sharing and making It all happen! 

Pre-Work Survey

Your pre-survey for CSPDWeek will be sent by our research partner, Institute for Advancing Computer Science Education (IACE). You will receive an individual link to your school email address. Please take the time to add k12pd@csedresearch.org to your allow / safe senders list, along with @nextech.org, @csteachers.org, and in.cspdweek@gmail.com if you haven’t already. This email will go out on June 1st. We will track completion and ask that you have it completed before attending CSPDWeek. *This does not apply to individuals on the School of Education Faculty Track.*

CSTA Account Survey 

CSPDWeek doesn't end after this week; we stay connected all year. CSPDWeek participants are asked to participate in a minimum of 12-16 hours of continued professional learning across the 2026-27 school year for an additional stipend. This year, we are using the CSTA PD Passport to track your hours (no more forms for those of you that have come to CSPDWeek before!). This will also allow you to see your hours on a consistent basis and download your proof of professional development when needed to Input Into LVIS. To do so, we need to match each CSPDWeek participant to their CSTA account.
