Abstract

Many secondary school teachers in historically lower performing districts find themselves asked to teach CS without adequate training. They find themselves struggling to build a CS program without the environment necessary to foster student engagement and success. To improve educator preparedness, and transform school cultures, Innovating Detroit's Robotics Agile Workforce (iDRAW) offers one year of co-instruction by a university instructor with a high school teacher to better prepare the teacher to provide rigorous CS instruction independently in future years. Reflections from this university co-instructor are contained, with insights into the preparation of CS teachers and initiation of CS courses in high schools in the future.
