CS & IT TEACHER TRAINING
Get Your Teachers Trained in Computer Science & IT Today So You Can Excite Your Students About Learning the Skills of Tomorrow
Do your teachers need guidance and support when you implement STEM, CS or IT classes? You’re not alone.
ACS creates programs that teachers and students love.
Some of the exciting topics our teacher trainings cover are:
- Coding
- Networks & protocols
- UX/UI
- Robotics
- AI
- Electric vehicles
It’s never been easier to get your teachers the training they need to not just build student skills, but get them excited about CS & IT.

Modular
ACS provides world-class teacher training for CS & IT classes as a standalone service and in conjunction with curriculum development and our course bundles.
Robust
With 3 years of heavy use supporting 20 schools in one of our nation’s largest systems (Miami-Dade), our teaching training is designed to support teachers across the country.
Exciting
Students learn best when they enjoy what they’re doing. And excited teachers is a huge lift for any program. We train teachers to make CS & IT fun to teach and learn.
FOUNDED IN 2017
Computer Science & Information Technology Skills Are Different
A traditional teaching degree doesn’t cover coding, network administration and other fundamental skills that these types of jobs require.
Continuing education programs for teachers don’t generally have the deep expertise and understanding of what is relevant today.
When ACS (formerly Miami EdTech) started offering this specific type of training, the Miami community loved it and that’s not just educations. Students loved the subject matter and way in which it was taught.
In Miami Dade County Public Schools we’ve been offering teacher training to over 20 schools and 700+ students. Administrators, teachers and students have thoroughly enjoyed their experience.
So now Advance Computer Science is excited to offer that same benefit to teachers across the country.
TEACHING METHODOLOGY FOR THE MODERN STUDENT
Robotics, AI, Autonomous Vehicles? We’ve Got You Covered
ACS doesn’t just bring teacher training and that’s it. With super super engaging and accessible content, we bring programs that engage the entire educational ecosystem.
Our teachers learn how to teach the fundamental of IT and computer science with student projects that put them in the center of how our society is evolving with course modules like these:
Imagine LEGO meets Tesla. Students will build their own life-size drivable electric vehicles with kits that can be reconfigured into different of invention students imaginations can think of and use over and over with new groups of students.
Have students create and program robots online and then compete in global competitions against students from other schools around the world. Imagine Riders as the online version of FIRST or VEX robotics but without the associated cost of travel.
AP Computer Science & Pre-Apprenticeship IT & CS Course Readiness
A Bridge to Post-Secondary Programs
Advance Computer Science isn’t just a teacher training provider, our mission is to close the skills gap and improve economic opportunities through workforce development.
Our pre-apprenticeship program development works in concert with registered apprenticeships in local communities.
Being ready to teach AP Computer Science will give students a college course credit that allows them to move further faster wherever they receive post-secondary education.
Our teacher education has a heavy emphasis on helping students prepare for the next level.
VERTICALLY-INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS
Need Teacher Training + Industry Certifications + New STEM Programming? Let’s Talk!
Advance Computer Science believes the strongest programs are developed holistically. Is your school starting from scratch with IT and CS teacher training?
Then you likely need your teachers industry certified too. This is where we can help. Imagine this:
- We work together with the goal of having your program and teachers ready to offer your students computer science and IT skills during your next academic year.
- We help you share exciting new STEM programs and materials with your students that get them motivated to build and program online robots and construct life size electric vehicles they can ride around on.
- We train your teachers with the critical skills needed so they can feel confident, and capable teaching in the classroom.
- Bonus: we help you interface with local colleges to build a Pre-Apprenticeship Program that feeds students into the Registered Apprenticeship Program.
So yes, we’re happy to provide Computer Science and IT teacher training as a standalone service, but we’re even more excited to help you provide a comprehensive CS and IT environment that supports your school as a whole.
