Professional Learning Opportunities for Educators
Code Savvy offers monthly virtual PD sessions for educators who are interested in gaining new skills and resources related to CS Education. Each session spotlights a specific topic and participants walk away with a Code Savvy Lesson that they can immediately bring to students!
“These sessions are the perfect combination of learning a new tool and reflecting on how to implement in my classroom. I always look forward to the free lesson that is shared at the end of each session!”
