Self-paced online PD built around the realities of your schedule, so you can start any time and put it to work right away.
Comprehensive courses covering pedagogy, content knowledge, and instructional strategy: everything you need to teach a subject with confidence.
Short, targeted courses for teachers who want to sharpen a specific skill or get up to speed on a tool, without committing to a complete course.
Attend five live sessions throughout a year-long journey of growth and collaboration, with fellow educators and CodeHS PD specialists by your side, every step of the way.
Our prep courses cover the skills and competencies tested on your state's computer science certification exam, including the Praxis, TExES (Texas), FTCE (Florida), and GACE (Georgia). Each runs about 40–50 hours of self-paced coursework you can finish anytime during the year.
Teachers learn best when they can read, watch, and do, so every course combines all three.
Yes. CodeHS's online PD courses are 100% self-paced, with no live sessions required, so you can start anytime and learn on your own schedule. You work through the videos, code examples, and hands-on exercises on your own time and finish whenever it fits: roughly 30 to 40 hours for a complete course and about 5 hours for a mini course.
It depends on the course. Courses like Intro to Computer Science and Teaching Computing Ideas are built for teachers with no programming background at all. Others, like AP Computer Science A, assume some familiarity with the language you'll be teaching. Each course's overview states its specific prerequisites, so you can check before enrolling.
Complete PD courses prepare you to teach an entire CodeHS course end to end, covering both the subject content and how to teach it, and run about 30 to 40 hours. Mini PD courses are shorter, focused skill-builders of about 5 hours that help you sharpen one specific skill or get up to speed on a single tool, without committing to a complete course.
