Description:
The Texas Regional Collaboratives (TRC) at UT Austin, in partnership with Oracle Academy, and TCEA, is offering a free 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 TRC CS Network will consist of both online coursework and face-to-face training held in Austin.
