WeTeach_ CS for HS
The WeTeach_CS for HS curriculum - this curriculum is appropriate for any introductory programming course at the high school level (i.e. high school Computer Science 1). To support schools that are suddenly faced with moving to online instruction, we have modified the licensing agreement so that any license purchased after March 15, 2020 can be used both for the rest of the 19-20 school year as well as the entire 20-21 school year at no additional cost. The entire year-long curriculum is aligned to the Texas state standards for CS 1 (TEKS). Details can also be found at https://utakeit.tacc.utexas.edu/curricula/.

Subscribe to the channel for FREE here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVZT5N7CDsFQ7M47Yem8H2Q/.

WeTeach_ CS Foundations of CS for Teachers
The WTCS Foundations of CS for Teachers online course is totally asynchronous and covers content for a number of CS courses, from CS 1 through AP. It is correlated to the teacher competencies of the TExES exam but in theory, students could sign up for the course by obtaining a UT EID and then completing modules assigned by their teacher. Quizzes at the end of each module are included and the course is designed with mastery as the goal. Feedback is provided to students from quizzes, allowing them to study further and then retake a quiz up to three times. Students could screenshot their mastery of a quiz and email it to their teacher. Details can be found here https://utakeit.tacc.utexas.edu/foundations-of-cs-texes-prep/.
