Prior to 2012, I was a science teacher with a ton of energy and a new-teacher salary, so I took every paid and all-expenses-covered professional development (PD) opportunity that came my way. One such workshop was the University of Virginia’s Tapestry (now Lighthouse Tapestry) program, designed to help high school computer science teachers recruit and engage students from underrepresented groups.

Featured CSTA+ Benefit
Students who feel a sense of belonging or connection to their teacher and peers are more likely to stay in school and succeed in life. Pear Deck makes it easy for teachers to connect with every single student in class — across every subject, every grade, and every day.
CSTA VOICE
CSTA Voice is your resource for analysis and commentary on issues related to K–12 computer science education issues.
Cybersecurity is a highly in-demand field, with over 460,000 current job openings solely in the United States that are not being filled. Each and every day you see in the news about a new cyber attack on businesses, or people’s data being compromised due to lack of cyber awareness.
I am a retired educator. In January it will be two years — and I have never been busier.
At the summer AP computer science institute, I joined CSTA and gained valuable resources I use every day.
