I currently work as Tech Support in an elementary school. Prior to that I had a long career as a programmer. I worked with software and hardware that is now obsolete. But the principles of programming haven’t change 🙂 I would like to move into teaching programming and general CS to elementary school kids. I have started working on my certificate and should be ready for next school year 2023-2022. What resources are available to get my feet wet with what [Code.org](http://Code.org) has available? I have thought of offering support for the Hour of Code. But I don’t know what is available. Where’s a good place to start? ---

@katherine.e.williams, Welcome to the community! One way to get started would be to look at the professional development resources. Here is a link to that. If there aren’t any workshops near you in the near future, there will likely be some in the future. [Professional Learning | Code.org](https://code.org/educate/professional-learning) At the middle school and high school level, there are some self-guided professional development opportunities even if there aren’t any workshops in the near future. Hope this helps a little! Mike
