I took the online course for the CS Discoveries, plus submitted the verfied teacher form and I still don’t have access. Any ideas?

Hey @kristie.hillenmeyer -
I would reach out to support@code.org- they should be able to take a look and get you set up. I’m not sure how long it usually takes for the verified status to take effect, but that would be a good place to start.
Congrats on completing the training!

Hi! My name is Ben I just started teaching CS 3 weeks ago due to some changes in my district, so I’m a little behind in the year. I teach grades 7-12. I have started with Unit 1 and am not really sure what other units I’ll be teaching. I am excited (and a little nervous) about all of it.

Hey @ben.wheeler!
I’m guessing you didn’t have an opportunity to take a summer PD course for CS Discoveries based on your post about the changes in your district. There is a self-paced [professional development course online](https://studio.code.org/courses/self-paced-pl-csd-2021) that you could use to help you get up to speed if you need extra help along the way. Otherwise, please reach out on the forum as there are so many helpful resources and people here to help!
Have fun and don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything!

Hi, my name is Ricky Villacorte. I’m the Instructional Technology TOSA for our District and will not be teaching a class this year. I’m here to learn and get familiar with [Code.org](http://Code.org) because I’ll be supporting a new STEM teacher for 7th/8th grade students.

My name is Dillyn Sprecher. I teach 6th-8th. I’m not sure what units I will teach yet, but I am looking to enrich my sixth-grade curriculum in the future. For now, I am just seeing what is to offer.
