Coach Tyler Opdyke
I teach 7th Grade Cyber Foundations 1
The goal is to cover Units 1-5 and 6B. It will be my third year teaching Cyber 1, and I have found that the students love code.org after they become familiar with it. Once they become familiar with it, we are able to roll.
I am most excited to see the students progress in their learning as well as see their faces when they realize the possibilities that code.org can offer.

My name is Sean Manchester. I teach high school math and will be teaching computer science for the first time this year. I hope to teach units 3 or 4 of the units (not sure which yet) and am most excited for learning/teaching some coding.

Hello, my name is Hannah. I teach high school math and physics at a small Christian school and children’s home and was just asked to teach computer science for the first time. I plan to teach through Units 1 and 3 for sure, but hopefully one or two others as well. I would like to be able to be able to individualize it somewhat based on the interests of the students that end up in my class (we have classes of 8 max), but we will see how doable that is this year. I am excited to learn coding and be able to provide new opportunities for my students to learn and grow through this course.
