If you are an LAUSD-affiliated teacher, LAUSD offers its own Code.org trainings.
Code.org partners with U.S.-based organizations such as regional education units, nonprofits, and universities who serve as K-12 computer science hubs in each region. As a Code.org regional partner, the USC Viterbi K-12 STEM Center offers training for teachers interested in using the standards-aligned Code.org curriculum with their students.
