Though our in-person workshops are on hold at this time due to COVID-19, we are offering live, online teacher training sessions, either individually or in groups. Apply below!
Our online training sessions get educators excited about code, which is the first step in promoting digital literacy among students.
OVERVIEW
Learn the key concepts, perspectives, and practices that make coding a valuable tool for learning, problem solving, and innovation. Designed for beginners, this training demystifies 21st century technology by putting concepts into practice with hands-on activities and simple modules that can fit into any lesson plan.
Our online trainings provide educators with the tools to explore and learn about computational thinking, basic coding, artificial intelligence, and digital citizenship while providing ideas for how to bring these into the classroom. Each session will include extensions for more advanced learning, as well as a curated list of additional resources, lesson plans, and toolkits. These workshops are funded by CanCode.
Group Training
Round up 6 of your colleagues and participate in a virtual group training with a KCJ instructor. You’ll have the choice between a session on block coding with Micro:Bit and Scratch or a session on Artificial Intelligence and Digital Citizenship.
Individual training
Receive a one-on-one virtual training with a KCJ instructor, sort of like working with your very own coding coach. You’ll have the choice between a session on Micro:bits, Scratch, or Artificial Intelligence and Digital Citizenship.
