The Mobile CSP program offers two types of PD tailored to support individual teacher backgrounds in a flexible schedule and format. Participating teachers are organized into small 10-12 person cohorts that are mentored by a Mobile CSP facilitator during both the PD itself and the subsequent school year.
Mobile CSP acknowledges the achievement of every teacher who completes the PD program by awarding one of the following:
PD fees are used to compensate the Mobile CSP Master Teachers and to cover the project's administrative expenses. The fees cover participation in the PD, mentoring throughout the school year, periodic webinars on topics of CS content and pedagogy, free access to all teaching and classroom resources, and access to the Mobile CSP teacher dashboard for the 2019-20 school year. Fees are due one month before the PD starts. Information about our refund and cancellation policy and procedures can be found here.
