BLC16 Evaluation Form
It’s hard to find teachers with computer science background to offer CS courses in school. The TEALS program pairs a classroom teacher with limited or no computer science background with a team of industry volunteers who co-teach or support the class. Over time, the classroom teacher gradually takes over instructional responsibilities until they are comfortable teaching independently. In this session, we’ll discuss the TEALS model and results, as well as general advice for working with subject matter experts as volunteers in the classroom.
