Bring computer science to life at your school with a free Girls Who Code Club! Clubs can run after school, during free periods, or even as part of a STEM class—no tech background needed to lead.

With a flexible, ready-to-use curriculum for 3rd–12th grade, Clubs help students build confidence, leadership, and real-world coding skills. Eligible Clubs can also receive up to $300 in funding to buy snacks and supplies.

This only applies to teachers using PEAR ASSESSMENT

Second semester courses populate in Canvas on Monday, November 17th. Teachers will need to set up and publish these courses by January 6, so students can access them. Your Digital Learning Coach can help with:

• Editing course details

• Cross-listing courses

• Setting up Grade Sync

• Importing content from another Canvas course

• Syncing with new Pear Assessment classes: Once new Canvas courses are published, teachers will need to create new course shells in Pear Assessment and sync to their new Canvas courses.

The district Canvas team will be supporting teachers that need assistance. Here is the schedule for the drop-in dates the district team will be visiting schools. If there is no date by your school, and you have teachers who need assistance, please reach out to your DRC or STC to get that date scheduled.

Hour of code or hour of AI

Building on over a decade of success with the Hour of Code, our new global initiative is designed to help students and educators everywhere take their first step into understanding and creating with AI.

Through hands-on, easy-to-follow activities, learners around the world will demystify AI and imagine what’s possible when they harness it for good.

Because the future isn’t something we wait for.


It’s something we build — together.

This was shared by Erica Settelen, Academic Program Consultant, but I thought it would be a great resource for ALL CTE teachers, so wanted to pass it along!!!

There are many ways to take notes. It’s helpful to try out different methods and determine which work best for you in different situations. Whether you are learning online or in person, the physical act of writing can help you remember better than just listening or reading. Research shows that taking notes by hand is more effective than typing on a laptop. Below is a link to the Cornell Notetaking System site and a Canvas module that will teach you about different note-taking systems and styles and help you determine what will work best for your situation.
