On January 13, 2025, the CSTA CT Board voted unanimously to support a proposal requesting funding for teacher professional learning. The proposal, which was developed in cooperation with Code.org, CS-PLAN at Sacred Heart University, and ReadyCT requests funds be spent directly on training teachers. The State Board of Education has stated that they would like Computer Science to be offered to all students in the state, but we can’t teach a subject if there are not enough teachers in the classroom. We will release more information about this exciting initiative as it becomes available.
Starting on May 22, 2025, we are going to start hosting a few in person monthly meetings. These meetings will most likely be held at a location near Hartford to make the location central to the state. We will update with locations as soon as we confirm our reservations.
Why should you attend? As convienent as virtual meetings can be - nothing can beat meeting people face to face, making connections, and feeling part of a group. Attending our in person events allows you to focus on you, and not have your attention pulled away from learning. And the subjects we have planned.... it's going to be so much fun! So stay tuned for more info, and save the dates!
Our February AP CSP prep meeting is going National! That's right, join CS teachers from around the country as we discuss the AP Principles Performance Task and Test. Our very own Jackie Corricelli will be leading the discussion, and she'll help us all feel more than ready to help our students succeed. This is one meeting you won't want to miss.
