My name is Li Wang and this semester I am assigned with Computer Science Principle course to teach. This is grade 11 level open course, I come across the course on code.org.
I have the following questions:
the course has 10 units and it suggest we teach them in two semesters. My school is semestered school, it means that every day I see my students to teach a 75 minutes lesson, can I finish all the 10 units within one semester?
Hello, this is Mark, in Toronto. This will be my first semester using Code.org. I was hoping to use different courses for each of grades 10, 11 and 12, but Iām not certain yet if thereās a suitable one for each and if they will work in sequence. I taught English for 15 years, but Iāve been a programmer much longer than that, so Iām happy to be an almost-full-time CS teacher for the last years of my career.
Hi, Iām Carri and I am teaching 9-12 AP CSP for the first time!

Good morning from North Carolina! Iām Amanda, but my best friends call me Frenchy. Iām currently the Virtual Teaching Assistant at my high school and next year Iām planning to teach some level of Computer Science. Iām really excited to become part of Code.org because so much of my past experiences felt that teaching had become so test driven and top down managed. I love the creativity and personalized learning this program allows.
I am Helen, I am excited to teach computer science.

HI! I am ER Schneider. I have been teaching math for the past 15 years and due to a teacher shortage, I have been tasked to also teach AP CSP for the 23/24 school year (in addition to AP Calc, Honors Geometry, Geometry, and Essentials of Geoemtry).
I commend all of you that are excited to learn along with your kids. There is no excitement here; I have never been this nervous, nor this unprepared to teach something ever. I have no previous knowledge of coding/computer programing; to be honest, I cheated my way through the 1 required semester of computer programing freshmen year of college in the fall of 1997 as an bioengineering major. Donāt judge.
I could use all the tips, resources and suggestions for teaching this course on a 4-day week 4x4 quarter block schedule. Due to the quick pace of the 4x4 block, my preference would be to teach this as a flipped classroom; extra points for resources to support this.
