New Computer Science Opportunity for High Schools

The iZone, in partnership with Code.org, and cs-nyc is excited to announce the launch of the Blended Learning Institute’s Computer Science Track. Combining online support with in-person workshops, this 18-month learning experience prepares teachers to implement a nationally recognized computer science course in their classrooms. This is an exciting opportunity for NYC high schools to join a national movement to expand access to computer science and teach students essential 21st century skills like programming and web design. At the completion of this track, teachers will receive a Pace University issued certificate in Blended Learning and Computer Science instruction. All NYC DOE high schools are welcome to apply.

If interested, teachers and administrations are encouraged to attend an Information Session on February 10th (RSVP here:http://www.izoneschools.org/rsvp-to-bli-cs.html).

The priority deadline for applications is Thursday, February 13th. Click here (http://www.izoneschools.org/computer-science-track.html) to learn more and apply.
