The CSTA Team
C4ITA and City Colleges of Chicago are recruiting both students and employers for an Accelerated Software Engineering Apprenticeship Program (ASEAP).
ASEAP is a multi-year employer-sponsored “earn while you learn” apprenticeship program designed to simultaneously develop diverse software and product talent while improving social equity in Chicago neighborhoods.
Students attend college for free, sponsored by our local employer partners, while simultaneously earning money working for the sponsoring employer to apply those skills.
- IntroCS Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL)
- The IntroCS POGIL project is recruiting our final cohort of faculty (from US colleges & universities). Participants will attend 8 half-days of POGIL training; receive materials, mentoring, and other support to implement POGIL during 2021-22; collect research data; and receive stipends. For details and the application form, see: http://introcspogil.org/
- Becoming a More Equitable Educator: Mindsets and Practices
- In this course, you will explore mindsets and practices that help all students, especially underserved students, to thrive and feel valued. By the end, you will gain a better understanding of yourself and your students, new resources and exercises to draw on in your local context, and a plan for your school community to advance the lifelong work of anti-racist, equitable teaching.
