Our online professional development, Learners with Disabilities in CS and AI Education, engages teachers in instructional strategies and practices designed to remove barriers to learning computer science and artificial intelligence, with an emphasis on learners with disabilities. This professional development was designed through funds from the National Science Foundation and Google to research and disseminate best practices for all learners in K-12 CS and AI education. Our program provides K-12 educators with an examination and implementation of strategies, including Universal Design for Learning and High Leverage Practices.

Our course goal is to help K-12 educators build classrooms that embrace all of their learners. Join us as we dive into effective instructional strategies so that all your learners, including those with disabilities will find success!
