Overview
In Washington state, computing jobs are in high demand. That's why our state adopted learning standards that integrate technology into all content areas, the 2018 Computer Science Standards, and 2018 Educational Technology Standards.
We help teachers grow into roles of leadership and make meaning of the standards, best practices, and integration strategies to use with students. This work is challenging and complex. Understanding that things change rapidly with technology integration, we provide professional learning that increases understanding and encourages collaboration with other leaders across our region and state.
