AP Computer Science

Greetings all!

=20

We are trying to build a computer science program, however, at this
point, we do not have the numbers to justify hiring a teacher. We have
tried to find a teacher who could teach AP Computer Science along with
other classes (ex. Math, Science) but to little or no avail. Of course,
computer science majors have dropped over the past two decades, so it's
not surprising that hiring qualified teachers in this area is difficult.

Is anyone involved in an online consortium or something that would
provide quality AP Computer Science instruction? We're investigating
now since we have students taking intro tech and programming classes,
and we'd like to be able to provide an option for those who wish to
pursue higher-level studies.

Thanks for your help!
