What C-STEM Courses/PD do I need to take?
UC Davis C-STEM offers two pathways for professional development: (I) C-STEM Implementation by taking C-STEM Academy I/Course 1 and (II) Computer Science Supplementary Teaching Credential Authorization Program and C-STEM Implementation by completing five C-STEM courses.
I. For C-STEM Implementation
To integrate C-STEM K-12 Math and CS Curriculum into your academic or afterschool/summer program, you only need to complete Course 1.
II. For CS Supplementary Teaching Credential Authorization & C-STEM Implementation
The sequence of five C-STEM professional development courses in the Joint UC Davis/UC Riverside Computer Science Supplementary Teaching Credential Authorization Program meets the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) requirements. These courses will prepare K-12 teachers with fundamental CS knowledge and pedagogy to teach any K-12 standards-compliant computer science curriculum. Participants can opt to take the courses as non-credit, for-credit, or for CEUs.
- To complete the CS Specific Authorization, there are six different schedules:
- Year 1: take all five courses.
- Year 1, take Courses 1 and 2. Year 2, take Courses 3, 4, and 5.
- Year 1, take Courses 1, 2, and 3. Year 2, take Courses 4 and 5.
- Year 1, take Courses 1 and 4. Year 2, take Courses 2, 3, and 5.
- Year 1, take Courses 1 and 5. Year 2, take Courses 2, 3, and 4.
- Year 1, take Courses 1, 4, and 5. Year 2, take Courses 2 and 3.
- If your organization would like to host an on-site C-STEM Professional Development tailored for your K-12 teachers, please contact us.
