We hope all who participated enjoyed their learning experience July 22nd - July 26th in Anaheim, CA. Check out our recap video for a summary of what this Summer of CS professional development week was all about!

ALL Students Should Learn CS.  ALL Teachers Can Teach CS.

CSPDWeek Stipend and Commitment Information

The CSPDWeek workshops happened July 22-26, 2024 in Anaheim and was intended for California Grades 6-12 public school educators and paraprofessionals. This opportunity was funded through the California Department of Education’s Educator Workforce Investment Grant for Computer Science (EWIG:CS Seasons of CS). Due to capacity constraints, participants could choose only one summer workshop when they enrolled for a workshop. The participant and their supervisor were required to sign the Participation Agreement before their registration was fully confirmed.

Stipend Incentive
California classroom educators who are teachers-in-charge consistently as well as paraprofessionals who actively participated in the 2024 Summer of CS offerings have been offered a $250 daily stipend for 5 days of CSPDWeek workshop participation. Each workshop day is typically defined as but not limited to a six-hour day. This incentive is intended to acknowledge the educator's time and commitment to participate in this Seasons of CS professional learning activity that is offered outside of the traditional educator employment schedule.

Academic Year Workshops (AYWs) For Grades 6-12 Educators and Paraprofessionals
AYWs are ongoing professional learning activities intended to extend the summer workshop experience with just-in-time content. Stipend payments of $250 will be paid for every completion of 6 hours of training during ongoing professional learning in the 2024/2025 school year. Academic Year Workshop time will be a mix of synchronous and asynchronous time. Synchronous time will be specified by your workshop Facilitator. These Academic Year Workshops are follow-up virtual workshops happening in September, November, January, and February. 

Your Summer of CS workshop facilitator should have provided you with a schedule for your series of follow-up workshops. Most CSPDWeek workshop will follow this Academic Year Workshop schedule:


CS Implementation Commitment

The grant that funds the Summer of CS asks for participating teachers to acknowledge an intent to deliver the CS instruction. This delivery could include integrated lessons, standalone units of instruction, after-school clubs and activities, and/or other creative approaches. The workshop you choose to participate in this summer will provide you with ample content and strategies for instruction. You will receive the resources and support to help you try to do 30/50/75 hours in the first school year.


In addition to fully and actively participating in your 5-day Summer of CS workshop and the associated follow-up workshops, you will also be asked to Implement CS instruction during the 2024/2025 school year using curriculum and pedagogical strategies provided through your chosen workshop:

It is intended that Administrators and Counselors will support the implementation of CS Education at your school as well as prioritize the CS Implementation of instruction to a diverse group of students in the 2024-2025 school year while prioritizing and adapting this instruction for students who are historically underrepresented in the field of CS.
