C- Forum

C-Forum is a group that helps Technology Trainers and Staff Developers across the state of Utah learn new concepts, share resources and network with colleagues. Monthly meetings are held at various locations around Utah during the school year. C-Forum is a synergistic group that combines the resources, ideas, and expertise of its members to promote integration of appropriate technology into daily classroom activities, high quality professional development aligned with national professional development standards, sharing of best instructional practices; access to technology by Utah students and educators, and ongoing development of educational technology tools, resources, and practice in Utah schools. We feel that their goals overlap significantly with ours so we'd love to promote them here.

National Survey of CS Teachers

As you may know, CSTA is conducting a national survey of CS teachers and we’d love to see every member of our chapter contribute! This is a different survey from the CSTA chapter feedback survey. Please take 20-25 minutes out of your day to participate in this survey (https://smash.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6tA37X1WK5WLxVc?Source=cstachapters). The results will be used to make recommendations to improve support for CS teachers.

As thanks for your time, the first 4,000 teachers who complete the survey will receive their choice of a $10 Tremendous gift card (options: Amazon, Target, Walmart, Starbucks, Dunkin). All participants will be entered in a raffle for one of five $200 gift cards.
Please feel free to share the survey with other CS teachers by forwarding this email! If you have any questions, please contact membership@csteachers.org. Thank you for contributing vital insights to improving K-12 computer science education!

AP Reading

The students are all preparing to take the AP exam but many of us teachers are preparing to grade the exams.

The AP reading is a great opportunity to meet other teachers and learn more about how to prepare your students for the exam.

If you are a veteran at the reading we'd love to learn from you and if it's your first year we'd love to support you.

(And if you haven't applied yet we're happy to help with that too)
