20 high school teachers will be selected to receive $1000 stipends and a combination of comprehensive online and in-person training and support during the summer of 2018 (60 hours total). The in-person training is scheduled for June 11-15, 2018 in Austin, TX at the University of Texas Austin - Texas Union (Eastwoods Room).
Note: Priority will be given to campuses planning to offer AP CS Principles during the 2018–2019 school year.
Participating teachers will receive the following at NO COST:
• Comprehensive AP Computer Science Principles curriculum and teacher support materials

• Online national community of practice
CS Certfication
Five teachers who participate in this training and implementation support will be selected to receive additional support in order to meet the requirements for CS Certification in Texas. An additional stipend of $1500 will be awarded by UTeach CS to these participants. Additionally, all participants who are currently certified Texas educators who add a CS certification may apply separately for the $1000 Certification Incentive Program through WeTeach_CS (
