> ADVICE FROM A GRANTEE
>
> Meet Dr. Lisa Milenkovic, the STEM and Computer Science Supervisor for Broward
> County Public Schools <http://browardschools.com/Home> (BCPS), the
> sixth-largest school district in the nation and the second largest in
> Florida. As a 2017 grantee, Milenkovic developed an online PD course to
> help educators achieve state certification in Florida for teaching CS.
> “When you’re starting a new initiative like building a computer science
> program, you don’t have formal departments, or methods for teachers to
> interact with one another,” she says. “You need to help teachers build up
> their peer network.” The CS certification course and face-to-face mentoring
> funded by Google’s grant builds CS teaching expertise in the district,
> increasing the availability of CS classes district-wide. Learn more about Lisa’s
> PD journey <https://goo.gl/aLNmsV> for educators in Broward County Public
> Schools
>
>
> We look forward to growing CS educator PD in 2018 together! Please reach
> out to our team if you have any questions or comments (
> CSedugrants at google.com).
