Hi Brent,

Can you share this with the Philly CSTA chapter? This is for a free CS Principles PD workshop we are offering in San Francisco, CA July 17-21 hosted by UC Berkeley.

Thanks!

Lauren

Hi CSTA Philly,

We still have space at our free PD workshop for high school CS teachers for the CSP curriculum! The curriculum taught during this PD is the Beauty and Joy of Computing, a College Board endorsed AP CS Principles curriculum developed at UC Berkeley.

The PD workshop is July 17-21 at San Francisco State University. We will be covering your travel, lodging and meals for the entirety of this particular workshop.

If you are unable to make this week, we have many others around the nation.

The Beauty and Joy of Computing (BJC) curriculum, developed here at UC Berkeley, emphasizes the joy and complexity of creating visual computer programs and apps, balanced with critical reflection on both the potential benefits and harms of new computing technologies. Our curriculum has a strong design and programming focus, using the visual programming language Snap! and a collaborative, exploratory approach where students work in pairs and teams to bring their own unique creations to life. BJC situates computing in the context of how students interact with computers and devices in their daily lives. Our curriculum is AP compliant for this exam.

Apply for our BJC PD here (http://bjc.link/pdapp17)! Or learn more with our PD FAQ and explore BJC at bjc.berkeley.edu and our curriculum at bjc.edc.org.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at lau...@bjc.berkeley.edu.

I hope to see you this summer!

Lauren
