| - | This course will address methods for teaching computer science at the high school level. It is being developed as part of a planned computer science endorsement program, which will draw on existing course work in computer science to provide secondary teaching majors with the content background and experiences to be effective high school computer science teachers. The target audience for this course is secondary teaching majors, particularly those in the STEM disciplines. We hope to attract ten to fifteen students per year to complete the course. Students will take the course as a final step before a student teaching experience; therefore, a 40000-level course number designation is appropriate. | + | This course will address methods for teaching computer science at the high school level.
