JETT - Java Engagement for teacher
training
A program for high school computer
science educators
The Java Engagement for Teacher Training Program (a.k.a. JETT) is a partnership between the Computer Science Teachers Association and the College Board. JETT provides quality pedagogically-oriented workshops and resources in Java for high school computer science teachers hosted by universities. In addition, the JETT program offers all computer science educators a rich, centralized, online Java repository.
JETT was developed to meet the immediate needs of secondary computer science educators in order to ramp up their knowledge of Java due to the Advanced Placement (AP) language switch from C++ to Java beginning in the 2003-2004 academic year. That's JETT's short-term goal!
Jett's longterm goal is to create a community of computer
science educators all sharing "best practices"
and "winning pedagogical methods" to improve
the teaching and learning of Java. We're talking about
a multi-layered mentoring infrastructure. JETT workshops
are intended for every person teaching high school computer
science. Whether you are a seasoned high school instructor,
or run an after-school computing club, please consider
attending this two day workshop.
This two day workshop at Penn will be held at the Levine
Hall conference rooms, at the Department of Computer
and Information Science, 3330 Walnut Street.
