Computer Science Teachers Association

To serve the K-12 space, we created a continued learning pathway for students, since many resources end at the basics. To do this, we partnered with Code.org and mapped Pluralsight content with its curriculum team.

Getting creative
Serving teachers can be difficult because every state has different rules and structures. We work through CSTA, the leading national teacher resource organization, to contribute to a system of solutions. The goal is to provide professional development for CS educators and enable them to build skills with resources that are mapped to national exams and are aligned with CS curriculum. This solution is supported by an ecosystem of community support, national standards, convening, practical curriculum resources and more.

Our strategy

• Lead with product-based solution
• Leverage the Pluralsight platform and content library to build a curated library for teachers that aligns to national standards
• Provide a free resource to help teachers prepare for the Praxis exam and then take concepts to the classroom

Creating community

In addition to working with CSTA to solve for the teacher professional development needs around computer science, Pluralsight One recognizes the power of a national educator community. Together, we are working on improving equality of opportunity and inclusion in CS for students across the nation. We are committed to funding ingenious solutions that teachers have developed, which have proven to increase diversity and inclusion in CS. The intention is to amplify and replicate these models by sharing their innovations with teachers across CSTA's national community, which is why we’ve partnered with Microsoft and CSTA to launch the first national Equity Fellowship.
