For the first cohort we are looking for teachers that are:
– Currently teaching in a DC Public School. Preference to teachers in Title One schools.
– Have a desire to learn to code and teach children to code. You don’t have to know how to code to participate. We are looking for interest and enthusiasm as much as prior experience in coding.
– Supported by the school administration/ the school Principal. We need to know that what you learn will be taken back to the school and implemented an after-school program and potentially integrated into the current curriculum.
Teachers receive:
– A stipend for attending the 3-6 hours of training this fall.
– A stipend for running a short course program in Fall 2021 to introduce the program and a longer after school course in the Spring 2022.
– Dedicated support along the way.
– All materials and equipment.
– Additional training in the Spring of 2022.
