Description

The Texas Regional Collaboratives (TRC) at UT Austin, in partnership with Oracle Academy, is offering a series of courses for Texas teachers interested in teaching computer science. This series of professional development experiences will prepare participants to teach courses such as Computer Science I, Computer Science II, or AP Computer Science. Since the AP Computer Science course is based on the Java programming language, this will be the focus of the technical training component. The KCJO coursework September 26 – November 17, 2016 will focus on Java Fundamentals.

Those who complete Part 1 will be eligible to participate in the follow-up online Part 2 Java Programming Course November 28 – December 15, 2016.
