About Us

 

Mission

To create a virtual place of learning for K-12 computer science in the state of Illinois. 

The Illinois Computer Science Teacher Toolkit is an initiative of the Discovery Partners Institute aimed at promoting the teaching and learning of computer science in Illinois schools. Our goal is to become a main hub of information and discussion for K-12 teachers, librarians, coaches, administrators, and more. 

On this site, you will find computer science resources, discussion forums, information on STEM-related events and job postings, and more. We plan to add new assets to the site in the future, such as opportunities for professional development.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to the admin team at support@csteachertoolkit.org.
