UIUC’s College of Education, in partnership with DPI, will launch the 3rd annual cohort of its Teaching Endorsement in Computer Science in June 2023. With curriculum specifically focused on the teaching and learning of CS, this online plan of study is designed for current teachers with a valid Professional Educator License (PEL) in grades 5-12.
This 5-semester, cohort-based pathway meets the Illinois State Board of Education’s credit requirement for obtaining a subsequent teaching endorsement in computer science. This coursework may also be able to be turned into a Master's Degree through UIUC’s College of Education.
DPI will be hosting information sessions to provide an opportunity for educators to learn about the program and ask any questions they may have.
