Project goals:

1. To establish a nationwide network of professional learning communities (following the fan model) that promotes the professional development of middle-school computer science teachers. This includes engaging in inquiry into teaching practice, sharing instructional materials during and after their validation through classroom use, building a supportive professional social network, and fostering a safe and open environment that enables honest discourse about successes as well as difficulties and challenges.
2. To support the lead teachers of the regional communities as part of the process of strengthening their professional identity.
