As a result of this work
As a result of this work, educators will be able to align curriculum, instruction, and assessment with the NJSLS-CIS to support students’ development and application of computer science and innovation skills across grade levels and content areas. Participants will leave with approaches for unpacking standards, tracing learning progressions, and connecting computational thinking, problem-solving, and technology’s impact on society to authentic learning experiences.
Workshop Description
This workshop provides a comprehensive examination of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Computer Science, Innovation and Society (NJSLS-CIS), with a focus on unpacking the intent and expectations of each standard. Participants will explore the structure and progression of the standards across grade levels, examining key concepts such as computational thinking, problem-solving, data and analysis, networks and systems, and the impact of technology on society. Through interactive activities and collaborative discussions, attendees will analyze how computer science and innovation skills develop over time and connect to real-world applications across content areas. Participants will also consider the implications of the standards for curriculum design, instructional practices, and assessment, ensuring students are prepared to thrive in an increasingly digital and technology-driven world.

Educators will confidently translate CSIS standards and K–12 learning progressions into clear instructional expectations and authentic tasks that integrate specialist content with computer science and innovation skills. They will align objectives, activities, and evidence of mastery so students demonstrate learning in both areas. This work supports district priorities by strengthening standards alignment, instructional coherence across grade levels, and meaningful application across content areas.
Our approach goes beyond one-size-fits-all professional development. We hold ourselves to rigorous standards of quality and delivery in every client interaction, ensuring that each experience is meaningful, relevant, and impactful. We don’t just deliver workshops—we build long-term partnerships with schools and districts, working alongside educators to improve instructional practices and student outcomes over time.
We actively listen to educators’ unique contexts and experiences, using that insight to collaboratively design tailored solutions rather than pre-packaged sessions. Our team asks thoughtful questions, challenges assumptions, and continuously learns so we can help redefine what’s possible in teaching and learning.
Above all, we communicate authentically, foster positive and productive relationships, and bring a deep passion and commitment to education. The result is professional learning that feels purposeful, personalized, and truly transformative.
Our workshops are designed for educators and school leaders, including teachers, instructional coaches, school administrators, and district teams. Each session is tailored to the specific audience to ensure content is relevant, practical, and immediately applicable.
Our workshops are interactive, engaging, and grounded in real classroom practice. Each experience is intentionally designed using the principles of andragogy, sound instructional design, and the core constructs of effective professional development to ensure relevance, coherence, and impact. Participants engage in discussion, reflection, planning, and application activities — not just passive listening. Educators leave with concrete strategies and next steps they can implement right away.
We offer flexible formats, including half-day, full-day, and multi-session series. We can also design ongoing professional learning experiences to support sustained implementation over time.
We offer flexible delivery options to meet the needs of schools and districts, including in-person sessions, live virtual workshops, and asynchronous learning through our applied learning platform. Regardless of format, all experiences are designed to be interactive, engaging, and collaborative, with structures that promote meaningful participation and application of learning.
We believe professional learning is most effective when it’s sustained. In addition to workshops, we offer instructional coaching, implementation planning, and follow-up sessions to help teams translate learning into practice and drive meaningful results.
