Thanks for sharing whatās available and help getting started. Code.org also has a few video series that teachers new to Code might find helpful. Check them out here. Getting Started with Code.org - YouTube And Teacher Tips - YouTube
Welcome to the Teacher Forum. Hope you find it useful as you go through this year with all those CS classes.
Welcome to the Forum Kristie!
If you have questions when you get started, you have found the place to go to get your questions answered.
I took the online course for the CS Discoveries, plus submitted the verfied teacher form and I still donāt 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. Iām 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 Iām 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 Iāll be teaching. I am excited (and a little nervous) about all of it.

Welcome to the forum @ben.wheeler ! Weāre glad to have you! This is a great place to get answers to questions, resources, and find like-minded educators.
Hey @ben.wheeler!
Iām guessing you didnāt 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 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 donāt hesitate to reach out if you need anything!
