It has been a very busy summer! CSTA-SC, in collaboration with CSTA, SCDE, and The Citadel's STEM Center, just wrapped up CSPDWeek 2021 with over 280 teachers completing 30 hours of professional development around a 11 different topics including Hands-on K8 Computational Thinking, CMU Python, and Web Page Design and Development. CSTA-SC board members also presented at the Education and Business Summit on a variety of topics. We hope everyone is returning to the school year with a wealth of resources to leap into teaching CS this year!

Earlier this year, CSTA and ISTE launched an initiative to revise CS Educator Standards. In June, we opened Draft 1 of these standards for review and public comment. We’ve reviewed your feedback and are now ready to share the next draft with you.
Your input as a CS educator is important to us! Learn more about how you can review Draft 2 of the new standards and provide your feedback.
