P-12 Teacher Resources

Resources for Inside and Outside the Classroom

From elementary to high school, the College of Information Science and Technology offers a plethora of tools for teachers to engage students in information technology. From teacher training, hands-on activities, and internship opportunities, our college is invested in helping more schools integrate computational thinking into their classrooms.

P-12 Teacher Engagement

Computer Science Teacher Education

We are leading the charge on educating the next generation of computing teachers through three academic program options: (1) Undergraduate Supplemental Endorsement for students currently seeking educational degrees; (2) Graduate Computing Teacher Education Certificate and a Supplemental IT Endorsement for in-service teachers; and (3) Full Graduate Degree (MS in CSTE). Students can complete this part or full time.

P-12 Community Engagement Activities Research Experience for Teachers

Every summer, high school teachers and undergraduate students have the opportunity to attend two research experiences at IS&T: Research Experience for Teachers (RET) and Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) in Engineering and Computer Science.

These projects focus on “Infusing Mobile Platform Applied Research into Teaching” with funding from the National Science Foundation. Five computer science faculty members serve as mentors for the teachers and students.
