This workshop aims to inspire educators while providing essential support and structured guidance for effectively utilizing the resources obtained from the CS Discoveries curriculum.

Drawing on our extensive experience in teaching and implementing this curriculum, we will share valuable resources and highlight successful strategies that have proven effective in fostering student engagement and achievement. Participants will leave equipped with practical tools and insights to enhance their instructional practices.

This workshop is for anyone who has done the CSD professional learning (including this July’s workshop) and who is interested in implementing CSD as it has been refined by the partnership in SUCCESS. A $300 stipend will be provided for those who participate. For those implementing the revisions in their own schools in the coming year, a $300 stipend will be provided with each of the quarterly meetings, which will build on the CSD follow ups to help with specific SUCCESS implementation support.
