Learning to Teach a Python Course
One of the first questions teachers ask us:
” … how long will the PD be, in terms of learning how to teach a code class?”
Whether you are teaching Python, JavaScript or just a basic web design class, with the StudioWeb app and curriculum, the real truth of the matter is, it take practically no PD at all!

Teacher and Student FeedbackÂ
It has taken us 6-7 years to polish our app and curriculum, but StudioWeb has been refined to be amazingly easy to teach a code class with … so, there isn’t much prep required. Teachers are happy to discover how quickly they feel comfortable leading a code class with StudioWeb.
In a nutshell, the prep with StudioWeb is:
- Watch our PD videos on setting up a StudioWeb class. It’s really, really easy since you just have to give account ids to students.
- You can do the course(s) as a student does them … to get familiar. Since StudioWeb has a powerful hinting system … students can never get stuck, which means you never have to answer code questions. So even doing this is not really required.
- Since SW does all the grading automatically, you don’t even need to grade!
