The Iowa AEA Computer Science Team needs input by Feb. 8!

The Iowa AEA Computer Science Team needs educator input to support the planning for some of Iowa’s future Computer Science professional development! The input will be used for:

• 2023 Iowa CS PD Week: Iowa’s AEAs, NewBoCo, and the Iowa Department of Education are collaborating to plan an Iowa Computer Science Professional Development Week for CS educators this summer. This is not a commitment, but responses will be used to develop a PreK-12 CS PD program menu that best meets the needs of Iowa’s CS educators.
• 2023-24 Ongoing CS PD offerings: Responses will be used to plan both statewide and regional CS PD offerings, ITEC CS sessions and CSTA Iowa chapter meeting topics.
• Please take five minutes to complete this survey.

Save the Date – Computer Science Professional Development (CS PD) Week
This year, CS PD Week will be held on June 12 – 16 at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls. This week will be an opportunity for educators across the state to gather together, participate in professional development to help them add or expand computer science and be shown appreciation. The AEA CS Team is working to take away common barriers to joining this in-person event by including things such as providing stipends, lodging and several meals during the week.

*All PreK-12 educators, administrators and coaches interested in computer science are invited to complete the form. Please share the survey with colleagues that might be interested. The initial responses will be reviewed for planning on February 8.
